The FIFA World Cup, often called the World Cup, is a prestigious international football tournament featuring the senior men's national teams of FIFA member countries. Organised by FIFA, the tournament has taken place every four years since its inception in 1930, except for the 1942 and 1946 editions, which were cancelled due to World War II. Argentina is the reigning champion, securing their third title at the 2022 World Cup. Brazil leads the standings with five World Cup titles, while Germany has made it to the final 13 times, underscoring their long-standing dominance in global football.

As of now, the FIFA World Cup final has exclusively featured teams from two confederations: UEFA (Europe) and CONMEBOL (South America). European countries have claimed twelve World Cup titles, while South American teams have won ten. Only three nations outside these continents have reached the semi-finals: the United States (North, Central America, and Caribbean) in 1930, South Korea (Asia) in 2002, and Morocco (Africa) in 2022. From the Oceania region, Australia is the sole team to advance beyond the group stage, reaching the second round in 2006 and repeating the achievement in 2022.
