Volley supporter on clearance

The French team in volleyball, Olympic champions in Tokyo and Paris

The French men's team won the Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games, held in 2021, and then in Paris in 2024, in front of their home crowd, by beating Poland in the final. Before these victories, this generation known as Team Yavbou claimed victory in the World League in 2015 and 2017, and at the European Championship in 2015, followed by the Nations League in 2022 and 2024. Their fast play, featuring spectacular defenses and creative set-ups, has made volleyball a sport followed far beyond the clubs. Wearing the French jersey is a way to show off this journey, from the gym to match nights with friends.

Home, away and women's cut jerseys

The home jersey and the away jersey of the French team stand out by their dominant colours, so that two teams can always be identified on the court. Both are available in a women's cut, more fitted at the waist and shoulders, as worn by the French women's team, and in a men's cut, straighter, with short or sleeveless options depending on the model. Errea, the Italian sportswear brand based near Parma, has dressed the French teams since 2008, from the men’s team to beach-volleyball and sitting volleyball. Their partnership with the federation has been extended until 2029, ensuring the continuity of the jersey style.

The libero and their separate jersey

The libero is the specialist in reception and defense: they only play in the back row and cannot serve, block, or attack above the net. Their jersey must significantly contrast with their teammates' jerseys, so referees can see their entries and exits, which do not count as substitutions. The selection includes the men's and women's libero jerseys from the French team, as well as the matching libero shorts for women. For a supporter, it's a more rare item that pays tribute to these unsung players whose receptions launch every attack from the French team.

Training tops, t-shirts and jackets for everyday wear

Off the court, the French team wears training gear that supporters adopt for everyday use. The training top, available in short-sleeve or sleeveless versions for women, is worn for club sessions as well as for watching a match at home. The Coven and Evo t-shirts display the colours of France in a more casual outfit than the jersey. The David tracksuit jacket, zipped, is perfect for travel and cool evenings, while the Skip socks complete the look. These end-of-line items allow fans to dress in the French colours without having to wait for the next major competition.

Frequently asked questions

How to choose the size of a France volleyball jersey?

Take your usual size for a body-fitting fit, or one size up for a looser fit over a t-shirt. The women’s cut is more fitted: if in doubt between two sizes, going for the larger size is safer.

Who makes the uniforms for the French volleyball team?

The French team is dressed by Errea, the Italian supplier partner of the French volleyball Federation since 2008. The contract covers both the men’s and women’s teams, beach-volleyball, sitting volleyball, and referees.

Where does the nickname Team Yavbou come from?

Players of the French men's team adopted this nickname, derived from a locker room expression, in the mid-2010s. It became the rallying cry for the generation that won titles in Europe and then at the Olympic Games.

How to wash a printed volleyball jersey?

Turn it inside out before washing, choose a delicate cycle at thirty degrees, and avoid fabric softener, which damages the technical fabric. Let it air dry and never iron over the printing.

What to wear to watch a volleyball match?

The jersey or a t-shirt in the team colours is enough, as the venues are heated; a light jacket can be kept for the trip. Many supporters add a flag or a scarf to stand out in the stands.
