===Mascot===
In May 1996, a mascot was introduced named "Footix" by Fabrice Pialot. The choice was greatly well at France as the traditional symbol of the nation. The name came from "Football", with the "-ix" suffix originating from the popular comic strip "Astérix" in which the Gauls (precursors of the French people), including the title character, mostly have names ending in "-ix". The mascot's colours reflect those of the host nation's flag and home strip: a rooster wearing a blue jumpsuit, a red crest and with the words 'France 98' coloured in white.
