England were eliminated from the 2022 World Cup on 10 December, losing 2-1 to defending champions France in the quarter-finals at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar.

Aurélien Tchouaméni gave France the lead with a long-range strike in the first half. England equalised in the second half when Harry Kane scored a penalty after Theo Hernández's side was punished for a foul. France went ahead again through Olivier Giroud's header. Kane then sent a second penalty high over the bar late on, a miss that decided the match.

The defeat ended England's run under manager Gareth Southgate, who had led the team to the semi-finals in 2018 and the Euro 2020 final. For Jude Bellingham, then 19 and playing for Borussia Dortmund, it was his first World Cup. He was one of England's standout performers in Qatar and was widely seen as one of the tournament's best young players, which raised his profile ahead of his move to Real Madrid in 2023.
