France winning UEFA Euro 1984, which they hosted. Under the leadership of Platini, who scored a tournament-high nine goals, France defeated Spain 2–0 in the final. France later completed the hat-trick when they won gold at the 1984 Summer Olympics football tournament and, a year later, defeated Uruguay 2–0 to win the Artemio Franchi Trophy, an early precursor to the FIFA Confederations Cup.
In 1998, 60 years after hosting the third edition of the World Cup, France again organised the global game's flagship event. Coached by Aimé Jacquet, Les Bleus were well prepared for this historic opportunity and carried off the country's maiden world title, beating Brazil 3-0 in the final with the help of two headed goals from talisman Zinédine Zidane. Then in 2000, under Roger Lemerre, France claimed a second European crown, before adding the FIFA Confederations Cup to the honours list in both 2001 and 2003. The 2002 World Cup brought disappointment as the holders were eliminated in the group stage. However, the team bounced back under Jacques Santini with a dominant performance in UEFA EURO 2004 qualifying, before going out to ultimate victors Greece in the quarter-finals.
In 1998, the Stade de France was inaugurated as France's national stadium ahead of the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Located in Saint-Denis, a Parisian suburb, the stadium has an all-seater capacity of 81,338. France's first match at the stadium was played on 28 January 1998 against Spain. France won the match 1–0, with Zinedine Zidane scoring the lone goal. Since that match, France has used the stadium for almost every major home game.
