Which nation won the 2018 FIFA World Cup? France.

France won the 2018 FIFA World Cup by defeating Croatia 4–2 in the final at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium on 15 July 2018. It was France’s second World Cup title, following its triumph as host nation in 1998.

The final featured an own goal by Croatia’s Mario Mandžukić, an equaliser from Ivan Perišić and a penalty converted by Antoine Griezmann. Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappé then extended France’s lead before Mandžukić scored Croatia’s second. France’s disciplined squad was managed by Didier Deschamps, who became only the third person to win the World Cup as both player and manager.

The result is sometimes confused with Croatia’s achievement because Croatia reached its first World Cup final and had eliminated England in the semi-final. Luka Modrić won the tournament’s Golden Ball, while Mbappé became only the second teenager to score in a World Cup final, after Pelé in 1958. France entered the tournament as one of the favourites and confirmed that status in Russia.
