About the FIFA World Cup Winners Quiz
The FIFA World Cup has crowned a champion every four years since 1930, pausing only in 1942 and 1946 for the Second World War. Just eight nations have ever lifted the trophy. Brazil leads with five titles, followed by Italy and Germany with four each, Argentina with three, and Uruguay and France with two. England and Spain have each won once, both in tournaments that turned on a single unforgettable final. The prize has changed too: the Jules Rimet Trophy was awarded through 1970, and the current FIFA World Cup Trophy has been lifted since 1974.
This quiz runs through 22 tournaments of history. You are asked to name the winner of specific editions, from Uruguay’s home triumph in 1930 to Argentina’s penalty-shootout victory in Qatar 2022, and to recall host nations, record goalscorers such as Miroslav Klose, and the finals that defined each era. Twenty multiple-choice questions cover champions, runners-up, and the moments every football fan argues about.
Answer each question and your score is tallied instantly, then matched to a tier: World Cup Legend, Football Expert, Football Fan, or World Cup Rookie. There is no sign-up and no time pressure. Use the winners-by-year table below to revise before you play, or to settle a debate about who won which World Cup, as every result in it matches the official FIFA record.
