[List of appearances]

A French Football Player is a minifigure from the Soccer/Football theme. A total of six minifigures are on this team.

Description[edit | edit source]

The players all have blue torso pieces with yellow hands, and have printing including red stripes running down each side, with two white stripes to either side of the red one. At the top of the piece in the centre is a V-shaped neckline, surrounded by red at the jersey's opening. Below the neck is a silver five-pointed star outlined in white, and underneath the star is a silver Gallic rooster, an unofficial French national symbol. The rooster also has outlining and detailing for the wings and tail in white, and the rooster's wattle and comb in red. The rooster is attached to a box also in silver and outlined in white, with the white text "F.F.F." in the box, for Fédération Française de Football (French Football Federation). Each player also has a yellow headpiece, with differing printing and hair piece combinations. The players also either have black or white legs pieces.
