In which country is "L’Équipe", a nationwide daily sports newspaper, published?

"L'Équipe" (French for "the team") is a French nationwide daily newspaper devoted to sport, owned by Éditions Philippe Amaury. The paper is noted for coverage of association football, rugby, motorsport and cycling. Its predecessor was "L'Auto", a general sports paper whose name reflected not any narrow interest but the excitement of the time in car racing.

"L'Auto" originated the Tour de France cycling stage race in 1903 as a circulation booster. The race leader's yellow jersey was instituted in 1919, probably to reflect the distinctive yellow newsprint on which "L'Auto" was published. The competition that would eventually become the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Champions League was also the brainchild of a "l'Équipe" journalist, Gabriel Hanot.

In 2020, the circulation of L'Equipe was 219,032 copies.
