We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Stade de France — The stadium was not built for a 2008 Summer Olympics failed bid; it was built solely for the 1998 World Cup.
Stade de France — The stadium does have under-soil heating; the 2012 Six Nations match was cancelled because the heating was insufficient or malfunctioned, not because it lacked heating entirely.
Stade de Lyon — The stadium opened in January 2016, not 2000; the 'Opened=2000' in the STATS section is incorrect.
Stade de Lyon — The ice hockey game on 30 December 2016 did not set the all-time French attendance record for ice hockey at 25,142; the record is higher (e.g., 27,135 for a 2018 game in Lyon).
Stade Félix-Bollaert — The stadium's capacity is stated as 38,223, but the widely-known current capacity is 38,058 (after recent renovations).
Stade Félix-Bollaert — Félix Bollaert was not a co-founder of RC Lens; he was a patron and former director of the mining company.
Allez les Bleus — The entry states France's first international match was in 1904 against Belgium and ended 3-2 to the French, but it actually ended in a 3-3 draw.
Allez les Bleus — The entry claims the 1998 World Cup final was the first time a host nation won the tournament since 1966, but host nations also won in 1974 (West Germany) and 1978 (Argentina).
Les Gones — The 'STATS' section incorrectly states the primary home stadium is Stade de France, Saint-Denis; the correct home stadium is Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Groupama Stadium) in Décines-Charpieu.
Les Gones — The 'STATS' section incorrectly states the club's kit colour is blue; Olympique Lyonnais' home colours are white, red, and blue, not solely blue.
Founding Era (1904) — The French Football Federation (FFF) was not founded in 1904; it was founded in 1919. The governing body in 1904 was the Comité Français Interfédéral (CFI), which was founded in 1907 and later became the FFF.
Founding Era (1904) — The statement that the FFF was founded in the same year as the team's first match (1904) is incorrect; the FFF was founded in 1919.
Platini Golden Generation — France did not finish third at the 1986 World Cup; they lost the third-place match to Poland 2–1, not beat Belgium 4-2.
1904–1930: Founding Era (Nicolas, Deyriot, Vestren) — France did not appear at a World Cup again after 1930 until 1934, a 24-year gap: France did participate in the 1934 World Cup, so the gap was only 4 years, not 24.
1904–1930: Founding Era (Nicolas, Deyriot, Vestren) — France lost all three matches in the 1930 World Cup group stage, including a 4–1 defeat to hosts Uruguay: France played only two group stage matches (losing 4–1 to Argentina and 1–0 to Chile) and did not play Uruguay in the tournament.
