Home jersey France Olympic Games 1968
With Olympic football totally dominated by Eastern Bloc countries and their professional amateurs, any hope that this French team could go far in the 1968 competition was low. Despite a defeat to Colombia, France still leads the overall standings thanks to their previous victories over Guinea and Mexico and qualified for a quarter-final against the little-known Japan. Hopes for a medal began to look more realistic until the Japanese pulled off the surprise of the tournament and recorded the best result in their football history with a deserved 3-1 win.
