KAZAN, Russia — The French forward Kylian Mbappé was not yet born when France beat Brazil, 3-0, to win the World Cup at home on July 12, 1998. But like any other French citizen, Mbappé, 19, has had no shortage of opportunities to relive the moment this month.

There has been a deluge of material and events commemorating the 20th anniversary of France’s first and only victory in a tournament that was, lest anyone forget, the brainchild of two Frenchmen: Jules Rimet and Henri Delaunay.

In the week before this World Cup in Russia began, French television networks broadcast three documentaries about the 1998 victory. One film, titled, “Le Sacre d’une Nation,” contained video of a 7-year-old Antoine Griezmann, who, with a friend, was dashing around the French national team’s training ground near Lyon during the summer of 1998 while wearing a No. 7 French jersey.

Among the stars who signed an autograph for Griezmann was Thierry Henry, then just 20 himself.

“Our successors,” Henry said as he looked at the youngsters.
