France U21
France finished second in Group C, behind Portugal only on goal difference. If not for their comeback win against Georgia in the second round, the French could have been eliminated from the group stage, allowing Portugal and Georgia to advance.
They drew 0-0 with Portugal, then beat Georgia 3-2 thanks to a dramatic 102nd-minute winner by Thierno Barry. In their final match, Gérald Baticle’s team comfortably defeated Poland 4-1.
Baticle took over as head coach in August 2024, having previously been Thierry Henry’s assistant with France’s Olympic team. Recently, the French Football Federation extended his contract through 2027.
France finished second in qualifying Group H and reached the finals as one of the three best second-placed teams. Their top scorer was Arnaud Kalimuendo with four goals.
France’s last quarterfinal appearance came in 2021, when they lost 2-1 to the Netherlands. Their most successful U21 tournament was in 1988, when they won the title with stars like Laurent Blanc and Eric Cantona.
