Football World Cup 1934 / France

This article covers the French national team at the 1934 World Cup .

qualification

France only had to play one game to qualify for the World Cup finals because the first two of Group 8 were allowed to participate in the World Cup and Luxembourg was bottom of the group after two defeats, so the last group game between Germany and France was canceled, because it would only have decided on their placement.

 Luxembourg - France 1: 6 (0: 2)

The goals for France were scored by Jean Nicolas (26th, 67th, 84th, 89th / EM), Alfred Aston (3rd) and Ernest Libérati (80th) On the side of Luxembourg, Théophile Speicher (46th) met for 1 : 2.
