Austria and France UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Austria and France, although differing in their footballing histories, share the common goal of aspiring to make their nation proud at the UEFA European Championships.
The Austrian national team has never made a huge impact at the European Championships. At Euro 2008, they made their tournament debut as hosts and have since made excellent progress in recent years, securing qualification for Euro 2016, Euro 2020, and Euro 2024.
Euro 2020 marked Austria’s best performance in the competition, reaching the knockout stages for the first time in their history. They won two group stage matches before losing after extra-time in the Round of 16 to eventual champions Italy.
On the contrary, the French national team boasts an impressive legacy of success at the UEFA European Championships, winning the tournament on two separate occasions. France is one of only four European nations to have won both the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship.
In 1984, France clinched their first European Championship title. Their journey to victory on home soil is remembered for free-flowing attacking football and Michel Platini’s superb performances. The legendary midfielder scored nine goals in five games - no player has ever scored more goals in a single tournament.
France's second triumph came at Euro 2000, beating Italy in the final, courtesy of a David Trezeguet golden goal. Zinedine Zidane was the standout player at the tournament as Les Bleus added a European title to their 1998 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Austria vs France Head to Head
Austria and France have met on many occasions, albeit never at a European Championship. A recent meeting occurred in the UEFA Nations League, and Les Bleus ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe. Austria have managed one win in their last 10 meetings with France.
