It has been a remarkable last 30 years for France, as no team in history has made it to the quarter-finals of the IHF Men's World Championship so many times as "Les Experts". In fact, since Sweden 1993, France have never missed the top 8 in the world handball flagship competition, creating a streak of 16 consecutive editions with a quarter-finals berth sealed and making it 14 times to the semi-finals.
