The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is the 22nd edition of the tournament. In the previous twenty-one, also counting the initial ones in which it was called the Rimet Cup, only 8 national teams have won the trophy. Here’s what they are
It’s all ready in Qatar for the 22nd edition of World Cup. In the previous 21 tournaments, 8 teams have won the title. From Brazil to Italy, from Germany to Spain, that’s who won the most times the most coveted national team trophy (in the photo the Rimet Cup, later replaced after 1970 by the FIFA World Cup)
5 wins – The Brazil it is the nation that has won the most titles in the history of the competition. He succeeded in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. He also lost two finals (in 1950 and 1998). However, it never managed to win the world cup when it was the host country of the event, i.e. in 1950 (with the famous Maracanazo psychodrama) and in 2014 (with the equally famous elimination in the semifinal, with the 7-1 conceded from Germany in what was renamed Mineirazo)
4 wins – Italy he won 4 editions of the World Cup: the two consecutive ones with Vittorio Pozzo on the bench in 1934 and 1938, then the 1982 Spanish Mundial and the 2006 one in Germany with the national team led by Marcello Lippi. However, the Azzurri (who also boast two final losses) will not be able to increase their tally because they did not qualify for Qatar, as happened 4 years ago for the World Cup in Russia
