The tournament was won by France, who beat Brazil 3-0 in the final. France won their first title (the 7th nation to win a World Cup), and the first host nation to win the tournament since Argentina did it in 1978.

[edit] Summary
- Further information: 1998 FIFA World Cup (match reports)
The format of the competition was different from 1994, as the finals were expanded from 24 to 32 teams. The 32 teams were divided into eight groups of four. The eight group winners and the eight group runners-up would qualify for the knockout stage. The golden goal rule was also introduced to decide knockout matches which went into extra time.
In the final, Zinedine Zidane scored two headers in the first half and Emmanuel Petit added a late goal to give France a 3-0 win over Brazil. Brazil's star player Ronaldo played poorly, having a mysterious fit the night before and many questioned his reinstatement in the starting lineup. An estimated one million people took to the Paris streets to celebrate through the night. France became the seventh world champions, joining Uruguay, Italy, Germany, Brazil, England and Argentina.
Davor Šuker of surprise third-place finisher Croatia won the Golden Boot after scoring six goals. Ronaldo, who scored four goals, won the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player.

[edit] Trivia
- The official mascot of this World Cup was Footix, a cockerel, one of the national symbols of France.
- The official theme song for the event was La Copa de la Vida by Ricky Martin.
- A change in the rules came into effect at the 1998 World Cup, stating that as regulation time was about to expire in any period of play the fourth official would use a handheld electronic display to show how many minutes of stoppage time were to be played. This practice has continued since then, after being well received by media and spectators alike.
- An attempt to revive the ancient ballgame of La Soule to celebrate the World Cup, fell through.
- The youngest player in the competition was Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o, at 17 years old.
- Brazil's defeat to hosts France in the final is, as of 2006, their worst defeat in a World Cup - Brazil never lost another game in the competition by more than two goals.
- This is the first World Cup with official website.
- Three coaches were fired during the World Cup. Carlos Alberto Parreira (Saudi Arabia), Cha Bum-Kun (South Korea), and Henryk Kasperczak (Tunisia) were all fired after their teams lost their first two matches. In their final matches, all three teams managed a draw.
