Italy and France UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Italy and France boast storied histories in the UEFA European Championships, each nation winning the competition on two occasions. They’re two of only four countries to have achieved glory at both the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championships.
The Azzurri, draped in their iconic blue jerseys, first clinched the UEFA European Championship on home soil in 1968, beating Yugoslavia in the final. The nation waited more than 50 years to win their second trophy, beating England at Wembley Stadium in the final of Euro 2020. The latter victory showcased Italy's resilience and tactical prowess, beating the hosts in a dramatic penalty shootout after going 1-0 down in the opening minutes.
France have reached three European Championship finals, winning two before losing to Portugal on home soil at Euro 2016. Their victories came at Euro 1984 and Euro 2000, beating Spain and Italy, respectively. Their triumphs were spearheaded by masterful performances from midfield maestros Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane.
Italy vs France Head to Head
These two nations have plenty of history against one another. France beat Italy 2-1 after extra-time in the final of Euro 2000, courtesy of a David Trezeguet golden goal. Italy got their revenge six years later, beating France in a penalty shoot-out in the 2006 World Cup final, a match famous for Zinedine Zidane’s headbutt.
Les Bleus have dominated this fixture in recent times, beating Italy in nine of their last 13 meetings.
