On Sunday at the Lusail Stadium, Argentina and France will face off for the 22nd World Cup championship. These are the winners and runners-up from the FIFA World Cup since 2022.
In the semifinals, the South American team defeated Croatia, while France stopped Morocco’s incredible run to set up the summit match. Morocco and Croatia will compete for third place on Saturday.
Only the 21st World Cup final has occurred in this tournament’s 22nd iteration. This is due to the fact that Uruguay won the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, which was decided by a mini-league format involving four teams.
With five championships under its belt, Brazil is the most successful squad in history. In 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002, it triumphed. With four titles each, Germany and Italy are the next two most successful teams. Uruguay, Argentina, and France all have two victories.
In four World Cups, Germany has finished second among the losers. Three times apiece, Argentina and the Netherlands finished as the runner-up teams.
