DESCRIPTION:

To celebrate the France Football Association’s 100^th anniversary; Nike created this special centenary strip that would be used just for one game; their UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier against Iceland on 25/03/19. Much like the shirt, the shorts leant very heavily on nostalgic tradition, so the only applications on the shorts are the numbering print and the Nike swoosh, unlike the seasonal shorts which also featured the national team crest.

THE SEASON:

In what should really be titled ‘the game’, this strip would be announced by France head-coach and captain: Didier Deschamps and Hugo Lloris during a press conference ahead of their clash with Iceland n match-day 2 of the 2020 European Championship qualifiers. In front of over 64,000 fans at the Stade de France; the reigning world champions would walk out in their new one-off strip and got the party underway with a Samuel Umtiti goal after just 12 minutes! A late second half blitz from: Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappe, and Antoine Griezmann saw ‘Les-Bleus’ make it 2 wins out of 2 with this 4-0 triumph!

The notable players that season were:

Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, Florain Thauvin, Thomas Lemar, Nabil Fekir, Paul Pogba, Moussa Sissoko, N’Golo Kante,Tanguy Ndombele, Blaise Matuidi, Benjamin Pavard, Djibril Sidibe, Layvin Kurzawa, Raphael Varane, Samuel Umtiti, Kurt Zouma, Presnel Kimpembe, Alphonse Areola, Hugo Lloris, Steve Mandanda
