The 1997 Tournoi de France ([tuʁnwa fʁɑ̃s]; French, 'Tournament of France'), often referred to as Le Tournoi, was an international football tournament held in France in early June 1997 as a warm-up to the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The four national teams participating at the tournament were Brazil, England, hosts France, and Italy. They played against each other in a single round-robin tournament with the group winner also being the winner of the tournament.[1] It was the second Tournoi de France tournament after 1988.
