As of the 2026 edition, 84 national teams have competed at the finals of the men's FIFA World Cup.[1] Brazil is the only team to have appeared in all 23 tournaments to date, with Germany having participated in 21, Argentina in 19, and Italy and Mexico both in 18.[2] Eight nations have won the tournament. The inaugural winners in 1930 were Uruguay; the current champions are Spain. The most successful nation is Brazil, which has won the cup on five occasions.[3] Five teams have appeared in FIFA World Cup finals without winning,[4] while twelve more have appeared in the semi-finals.[5]

Overall team records

[edit]

The system used in the World Cup up to 1990 was 2 points for a win. In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. Per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.[34][35]

Assists

[edit]
Left: Lionel Messi holds the all-time record for the most assists in FIFA World Cup history, with 12 assists.
Right: Raymond Kopa holds the record for most assists in a single edition, with 8 assists.

Notes: The following statistics apply Opta's assist criteria to every FIFA World Cup match from 1930 onward.
Under Opta's criteria:[134]

  • Assists are not awarded when the ball is significantly deflected or rebounded by an opposing player, altering its trajectory before reaching the goalscorer.
  • Assists are not awarded for penalties, direct goals from corners or free kicks, or own goals.

While Opta Analyst's published World Cup assist records cover all tournaments from 1966 onward, these shown statistics retrospectively apply the same criteria to earlier editions, from 1930–1962, using available match footage. Where video evidence is unavailable, assists are assessed and verified from contemporary newspaper reports and detailed descriptions of the goals. Consequently, these figures may differ from those published by other sources that do not retrospectively apply Opta's criteria to pre-1966 tournaments and from Opta itself, as they treat all pre-1966 assists as non-existent in their records and statistics.

  7. 1 2 Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany since 1949, has been represented by the same governing body, the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB), since 1904. Following World War II and the division of Germany, the DFB was re-admitted to FIFA after the 1950 World Cup as West Germany. Saar competed in the 1954 World Cup qualifying before joining West Germany in 1956. East Germany fielded teams of their own from 1958 to 1990 before joining with West Germany and the DFB during the German reunification. FIFA officially attributes all international results of the DFB team since 1908 to Germany, including the results of West Germany from 1954–1990.
  8. ↑ The Soviet Union qualified seven times prior to its dissolution in 1991. The 15 former nations Soviet republics now compete separately. FIFA considers Russia as the successor team of the Soviet Union. Russia and Ukraine qualified for the World Cup for the first time as separate nations in 1994 and 2006 respectively, with Uzbekistan doing the same in 2026.
  9. ↑ The Yugoslavia national football team qualified eight times during eras of Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1930) and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1950–1990). They qualified from 1930–1990 under the name Yugoslavia before its breakup in 1992 by the secession of many of its constituent republics. They qualified once in 1998 as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then changed its name to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, only qualifying under that name in 2006. All of these teams are considered the predecessors of the current Serbia team by FIFA, which first qualified under that name in 2010. The other national teams that resulted from the breakup of the SFR Yugoslavia in 1992 — Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia — are considered distinct entities from the Yugoslavia team of 1930–1990. Montenegro now also competes separately after independence in 2006 and Kosovo was recognized by FIFA in 2016.
  10. 1 2 Czechoslovakia qualified eight times prior to being divided into Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 1993. FIFA considers both the Czech Republic and Slovakia the successor team of Czechoslovakia.[citation needed] The Czech Republic national team qualified for the World Cup for the first time as a separate nation in 2006, with Slovakia doing the same in 2010.
  11. ↑ The Democratic Republic of the Congo competed as Zaire in 1974.
  12. ↑ Indonesia competed as the Dutch East Indies in 1938.
  13. ↑ Uruguay (76 years) and England (60 years) have longer active streaks.

  22. ↑ Pelé, Lothar Matthäus, Pierre Littbarski and Ronaldo each appeared three times in the squads of the teams that reached the finals, but none of them played in all three matches.[91]
  23. ↑ Includes direct and indirect free kicks.
  24. ↑ Many sources state that Pelé recorded three assists in FIFA World Cup finals, including Brazil’s second goal against Sweden in the 1958 FIFA World Cup final. However, that assist has not been included in this list because Pelé did not touch the ball, as it was instead deflected by a Swedish defender.[141][142]
  25. ↑ Zuberbühler kept goal throughout every minute of Switzerland's four matches. Other keepers have kept clean sheets only playing part of their team's matches.
  26. ↑ Not including penalty shoot-outs.
  27. ↑ Putting French players off.[166]
  28. ↑ Cufré was red carded for kicking Per Mertesacker in an altercation following the match.[167]
  29. ↑ Šimunić was given three yellow cards in the match as the referee failed to send him off the pitch after the second yellow, and was only red carded after the third yellow.[171]
  30. ↑ Biyik missed the team's second game after receiving a red card in the first,[172] and then missed Cameroon's fifth game after yellow cards in the third and fourth.[173][174] Others, including Zinedine Zidane in 2006, have earned a second suspension in their team's final match of the tournament, not servable during the tournament.
  31. 1 2 Including one group stage match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a 4–1 win over Norway, when Deschamps was temporarily represented by his assistant coach.[176][177][178]
  32. ↑ Attended four tournaments but did not act as the main referee in all of them. Instead, he was exclusively used as a fourth official in a minimum of one edition.
  33. ↑ The best-attended single match has been the final in 12 of the 23 World Cups as of 2026. Another match or matches drew more attendance than the final in 1930, 1938, 1958, 1962, 1970–1982, 1990, 2006 and 2026.
