Brazil — queen of the World Cup with 5 titles

Brazil is the most successful national team in World Cup history — 5 wins: 1958 (Sweden), 1962 (Chile), 1970 (Mexico), 1994 (USA) and 2002 (Japan/Korea). The 1970 win, with Pelé, Rivellino and Tostaão, is still considered one of the greatest football squads of all time. Brazil is also the only national team to have taken part in every World Cup since 1930 — 22 tournaments in a row.

Brazil's last win was in 2002 with Ronaldo Nazário — considered one of the greatest individual performances in history. Since then, Brazil reached the quarterfinals in 2006 and 2022 and the semifinals in 2014. Even after World Cup 2026, Brazil remained the record holder with five titles.

Germany, Italy, Argentina and France — the big nations

Germany (and West Germany in earlier years) won 4 times: 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014 — the last of those in Brazil itself, with Germany winning 1:0 in the final. Italy also has 4 titles: 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006. The 1982 win, with Paolo Rossi, is considered one of the most dramatic in history.

Argentina, after 36 years of waiting, returned to greatness in 2022 with Messi — its 3rd title (1978, 1986, 2022). France won twice: 1998 (at home) and 2018 (Russia). Uruguay — which was first (1930 and 1950) — has two wins. Spain won twice (2010 in South Africa and 2026 in the USA, Canada and Mexico), and England won once (1966, at home). In 2026, Spain joined the list with its second title.
