Why won't France play the third-place Euro-2024 after losing to Spain?

France's national won't be included in the third-place play-off at Euro-2024 after being eliminated in the semifinal phase from Spain. Luis de la Fuente's team remains invincible as goals in the first part of Lamine Yamal and Danny Olmo sealed their place in the finals, where they will [...]
Luis de la Fuente's team remains invincible as goals in the first part of Lamine Yamal and Danny Olmo sealed their place in the finals, where they will face England or Holland.
He defeated Croatia, Italy and Albania in the group phase before defeating Georgia, Germany and France.
Meanwhile, France will be extremely disappointed by its edition at the European Championship after marking only four times in five matches [two autogoles, a penalty criminal Kilian Mbppe and Tuesday's goal by Kolo Muani].
This is the end of the race for the Didier Deschamps team, which will not take part in a playful-off for third place like it does at the World Cup.
In 2022, Morocco fought Croatia for third place after losing against Argentina and France in the semifinal phase, respectively.
However, there has been no play-off match for third since Euro 1980, which was held in Italy.
The hosts were involved in the latest match for third place after losing 9-8 against Czechoslovakia in the penalty after they equalled the 1-1 match.
Although Italy was playing, the interest in the game was low, and the television audience was on the decline. In fact, attendance within the stadium was also under expectation.
Since then, there have been 10 European championships without play-offs for third place. /Telegraphy/
