World Cup winners: 8 sourced records

What this topic measures

This historical count stops after Qatar 2022. Later tournaments do not change this dataset. The unit is titles. This topic uses ratio scoring: a value half the target and a value twice the target are equally far away, so think in multiplicative bands rather than fixed steps.

A record is a named row in the frozen catalog, not necessarily a unique entity. Some topics contain several records with the same value, and a name round accepts any record at the closest distance. The table below is the complete answer set for this topic; there is no hidden shortlist.

All 8 records

Every row links to the original source used for that record. Values are rounded for display only; the scoring engine uses the stored source value. The snapshot date and unit are part of the topic’s definition, so a current live figure may differ.

The table has 8 rows, one for each accepted record. It does not list every alias or spelling variant; the game’s name matcher handles those at answer time. If two records share a value, both remain separate rows.

The range and the gaps

The 8 records run from 1 title to 5 titles. The median is 2.5 titles, with a middle half from 1.8 titles to 4 titles. The largest adjacent gap is 1 title between Spain and France. 3 records share a value with another record, so names can be tied even when their values are equal.

The highest listed records are Brazil (5 titles), Italy (4 titles), Germany (4 titles). The lowest are England (1 title), Spain (1 title), France (2 titles). Use these as anchors before you make a ratio or year estimate; the table below gives every value.

What the table does not tell you

These are single snapshot values in titles for Men’s FIFA World Cup · 1930–2022 · winning teams only. The table is not a time series, a range of typical values or a measure of uncertainty. A source can round, revise or use a different definition in a later release; the game uses the stored snapshot for every score. Read the source and the record label before treating a value as a current live measurement.

How to estimate this topic

World Cup titles are counts for the eight listed national teams. Many teams share the same total, so a name round can have several equally correct answers. Use 1, 3 and 5 titles as bands and read the tie note before assuming one name is uniquely best.
