Every Country's World Cup Record: How Far Did Yours Get? (1930-2026 Map)

From 1930 to 2026, this map colours every nation that has played at a men's FIFA World Cup by its single best-ever finish: Champions, Finalists, Semi-finalists, Quarter-finalists, Round of 16/32 or Group stage. Only eight countries have won the trophy: Brazil (5), Germany and Italy (4 each), Argentina (3), France, Uruguay and Spain (2 each) and England (1). Beyond the champions, nations like the Netherlands, Hungary and Croatia reached finals without winning, while Morocco became the first African side to finish fourth in 2022. Watch the counter climb as the map fills country by country, from five-time winners down to the teams still chasing their first knockout match.
