FIFA World CupFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FIFA World Cup, often simply called theWorld Cup, is an international associationfootball competition contested by the senior men'snational teams of the members of FédérationInternationale de Football Association (FIFA), thesport's global governing body. The championshiphas been awarded every four years since theinaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and1946 when it was not held because of the SecondWorld War. The current champions are Germany,who won the 2014 tournament in Brazil.

The current format of the competition involves aqualification phase, which currently takes placeover the preceding three years, to determinewhich teams qualify for the tournament phase,which is often called the World Cup Finals. 32teams, including the automatically qualifying hostnation(s), compete in the tournament phase forthe title at venues within the host nation(s) over a periodof about a month.

The 20 World Cup tournaments have been won by eightdifferent national teams. Brazil have won five times, andthey are the only team to have played in everytournament. The other World Cup winners are Italy andGermany, with four titles each; Argentina and inauguralwinners Uruguay, with two titles each; and England,France and Spain, with one title each.

The World Cup is the most widely viewed and followedsporting event in the world, exceeding even the OlympicGames; the cumulative audience of all matches of the2006 FIFA World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billionwith an estimated 715.1 million people watching the finalmatch, a ninth of the entire population of the

planet.[1][2][3][4]

The 2014 World Cup took place in Brazil. The next two World Cups will be hosted by Russia in 2018and Qatar in 2022. Both choices have been criticized in the media; Russia given the 2014 Crimeancrisis, and Qatar for allegations of vote-buying and poor working conditions for foreign workers.

History

Previous international competitions

The world's first international football match was a challenge match played in Glasgow in 1872

between Scotland and England,[5] which ended in a 0–0 draw. The first international tournament, the

inaugural edition of the British Home Championship, took place in 1884.[6] As football grew inpopularity in other parts of the world at the turn of the 20th century, it was held as a demonstrationsport with no medals awarded at the 1900 and 1904 Summer Olympics (however, the IOC has

retroactively upgraded their status to official events), and at the 1906 Intercalated Games.[7]

After FIFA was founded in 1904, it tried to arrange an international football tournament betweennations outside the Olympic framework in Switzerland in 1906. These were very early days forinternational football, and the official history of FIFA describes the competition as having been a

failure.[8]

At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, football became an official competition. Planned by TheFootball Association (FA), England's football governing body, the event was for amateur players onlyand was regarded suspiciously as a show rather than a competition. Great Britain (represented by theEngland national amateur football team) won the gold medals. They repeated the feat in 1912 inStockholm.

With the Olympic eventcontinuing to be contestedonly between amateurteams, Sir Thomas Liptonorganised the Sir ThomasLipton Trophy tournamentin Turin in 1909. TheLipton tournament was achampionship betweenindividual clubs (notnational teams) fromdifferent nations, each oneof which represented anentire nation. The

competition is sometimes described as The First World Cup,[9] and featured the most prestigiousprofessional club sides from Italy, Germany and Switzerland, but the FA of England refused to beassociated with the competition and declined the offer to send a professional team. Lipton invited WestAuckland, an amateur side from County Durham, to represent England instead. West Auckland wonthe tournament and returned in 1911 to successfully defend their title.

In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a "world football championship for

amateurs", and took responsibility for managing the event.[10] This paved the way for the world's firstintercontinental football competition, at the 1920 Summer Olympics, contested by Egypt and thirteen

European teams, and won by Belgium.[11] Uruguay won the next two Olympic football tournaments in1924 and 1928. Those were also the first two open world championships, as 1924 was the start ofFIFA's professional era.

World Cups before World War II

Due to the success of the Olympic football tournaments, FIFA, with President Jules Rimet as thedriving force, again started looking at staging its own international tournament outside of theOlympics. On 28 May 1928, the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam decided to stage a world championship

itself.[12] With Uruguay now two-time official football world champions and to celebrate their centenaryof independence in 1930, FIFA named Uruguay as the host country of the inaugural World Cuptournament.

The national associations of selected nations were invited to send a

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 4/26

Estadio Centenario, the location of

the first World Cup final in 1930 in

Montevideo, Uruguay

The national associations of selected nations were invited to send ateam, but the choice of Uruguay as a venue for the competitionmeant a long and costly trip across the Atlantic Ocean forEuropean sides. Indeed, no European country pledged to send ateam until two months before the start of the competition. Rimeteventually persuaded teams from Belgium, France, Romania, andYugoslavia to make the trip. In total thirteen nations took part:seven from South America, four from Europe and two from NorthAmerica.

The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously on 13July 1930, and were won by France and USA, who defeated Mexico4–1 and Belgium 3–0 respectively. The first goal in World Cup

history was scored by Lucien Laurent of France.[13] In the final, Uruguay defeated Argentina 4–2 infront of a crowd of 93,000 people in Montevideo, and in doing so became the first nation to win the

World Cup.[14]

After the creation of the World Cup, the 1932 Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles, did not plan toinclude football as part of the schedule due to the low popularity of the sport in the United States, asAmerican football had been growing in popularity. FIFA and the IOC also disagreed over the status of

amateur players, and so football was dropped from the Games.[15] Olympic football returned at the1936 Summer Olympics, but was now overshadowed by the more prestigious World Cup.

The issues facing the early World Cup tournaments were the difficulties of intercontinental travel, andwar. Few South American teams were willing to travel to Europe for the 1934 and 1938 tournaments,with Brazil the only South American team to compete in both. The 1942 and 1946 competitions, which

Nazi Germany and Brazil sought to host,[16] were cancelled due to World War II and its aftermath.

World Cups after World War II

The 1950 World Cup, held in Brazil, was the first to include British participants. British teams withdrewfrom FIFA in 1920, partly out of unwillingness to play against the countries they had been at war with,

and partly as a protest against foreign influence on football,[17] but rejoined in 1946 following FIFA's

invitation.[18] The tournament also saw the return of 1930 champions Uruguay, who had boycottedthe previous two World Cups. Uruguay won the tournament again after defeating the host nationBrazil, in the match called "Maracanazo" (Portuguese: Maracanaço).

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 5/26

In the tournaments between 1934 and 1978, 16 teams competed in each tournament, except in 1938,when Austria was absorbed into Germany after qualifying, leaving the tournament with 15 teams, and

in 1950, when India, Scotland, and Turkey withdrew, leaving the tournament with 13 teams.[19] Mostof the participating nations were from Europe and South America, with a small minority from NorthAmerica, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. These teams were usually defeated easily by the European andSouth American teams. Until 1982, the only teams from outside Europe and South America to advanceout of the first round were: USA, semi-finalists in 1930; Cuba, quarter-finalists in 1938; Korea DPR,quarter-finalists in 1966; and Mexico, quarter-finalists in 1970.

Expansion to 32 teams

The tournament was expanded to 24 teams in 1982,[20] and then to 32 in 1998,[21] also allowingmore teams from Africa, Asia and North America to take part. Since then, teams from these regionshave enjoyed more success, with several having reached the quarter-finals: Mexico, quarter-finalists in1986; Cameroon, quarter-finalists in 1990; Korea Republic, finishing in fourth place in 2002; Senegal,along with USA, both quarter-finalists in 2002; Ghana, quarter-finalists in 2010; and Costa Rica,quarter-finalists in 2014. Nevertheless, European and South American teams continue to dominate,e.g., the quarter-finalists in 1994, 1998, and 2006 were all from Europe or South America.

Two hundred teams entered the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds; 198 nations attempted toqualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, while a record 204 countries entered qualification for the 2010

FIFA World Cup.[22]

Possible expansion to 40 teams

In October 2013, Sepp Blatter spoke of guaranteeing the Caribbean Football Union's region a position

in the World Cup.[23] In the 25 October 2013 edition of the FIFA Weekly Blatter wrote that: "From apurely sporting perspective, I would like to see globalisation finally taken seriously, and the Africanand Asian national associations accorded the status they deserve at the FIFA World Cup. It cannot bethat the European and South American confederations lay claim to the majority of the berths at the

World Cup".[24] Those two remarks suggested to commentators that Blatter could be putting himself

forward for re-election to the FIFA Presidency.[25] Following the magazine's publication, Blatter'swould-be opponent for the FIFA Presidency, UEFA President Michel Platini responded that he intended

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 6/26

to extend the World Cup to 40 national associations, increasing the number of participants by eight.Platini said that he would allocate an additional berth to UEFA, two to Asia Football Confederation andConfederation of African Football, two shared between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL, and a guaranteed

place for the Oceania Football Confederation.[26] Platini was clear about why he wanted to expand theWorld Cup. He said: "[The World Cup is] not based on the quality of the teams because you don't havethe best 32 at the World Cup ... but it's a good compromise. ... It's a political matter so why not havemore Africans? The competition is to bring all the people of all the world. If you don't give the

possibility to participate, they don't improve."[26]

Other FIFA tournaments

An equivalent tournament for women's football, the FIFA Women's World Cup, was first held in 1991

in the People's Republic of China.[27] The women's tournament is smaller in scale and profile than themen's, but is growing; the number of entrants for the 2007 tournament was 120, more than doublethat of 1991.

Football has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except 1896 and 1932. Unlike manyother sports, the men's football tournament at the Olympics is not a top-level tournament, and since

1992, an under-23 tournament with each team allowed three over-age players.[28] Women's footballmade its Olympic debut in 1996, and is contested between full national sides with no age restrictions.

The FIFA Confederations Cup is a tournament held one year before the World Cup at the World Cuphost nation(s) as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup. It is contested by the winners of eachof the six FIFA confederation championships, along with the FIFA World Cup champion and the host

country.[29]

FIFA also organises international tournaments for youth football (FIFA U-20 World Cup, FIFA U-17World Cup, FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup), club football (FIFA ClubWorld Cup), and football variants such as futsal (FIFA Futsal World Cup) and beach soccer (FIFA BeachSoccer World Cup). Since the 2010 edition, the U-20 Women's World Cup has played the same role inwomen's football as the Confederations Cup plays in the men's game. When the U-20 Women's WorldCup is held the year before the Women's World Cup, both tournaments are awarded in a single biddingprocess, with the U-20 tournament serving as a dress rehearsal for the larger competition.

Trophy

From 1930 to 1970, the Jules Rimet Trophy was awarded to the World Cup winning team. It wasoriginally simply known as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, but in 1946 it was renamed after theFIFA president Jules Rimet who set up the first tournament. In 1970, Brazil's third victory in thetournament entitled them to keep the trophy permanently. However, the trophy was stolen in 1983

and has never been recovered, apparently melted down by the thieves.[30]

After 1970, a new trophy, known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy, was designed. The experts of FIFA,coming from seven countries, evaluated the 53 presented models, finally opting for the work of theItalian designer Silvio Gazzaniga. The new trophy is 36 cm (14.2 in) high, made of solid 18 carat(75%) gold and weighs 6.175 kg (13.6 lb). The base contains two layers of semi-precious malachitewhile the bottom side of the trophy bears the engraved year and name of each FIFA World Cup winner

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 7/26

since 1974. The description of the trophy by Gazzaniga was: "The lines spring out from the base,rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the

compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory."[31]

This new trophy is not awarded to the winning nation permanently. World Cup winners retain thetrophy until the next tournament and are awarded a gold-plated replica rather than the solid gold

original.[32]

Currently, all members (players, coaches, and managers) of the top three teams receive medals withan insignia of the World Cup Trophy; winners' (gold), runner-ups' (silver), and third-place (bronze). Inthe 2002 edition, fourth-place medals were awarded to hosts South Korea. Before the 1978tournament, medals were only awarded to the eleven players on the pitch at the end of the final andthe third-place match. In November 2007, FIFA announced that all members of World Cup-winning

squads between 1930 and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners' medals.[33][34][35]

Format

Qualification

Since the second World Cup in 1934, qualifying tournaments have been held to thin the field for the

final tournament.[36] They are held within the six FIFA continental zones (Africa, Asia, North andCentral America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, and Europe), overseen by their respectiveconfederations. For each tournament, FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of thecontinental zones beforehand, generally based on the relative strength of the confederations' teams.

The qualification process can start as early as almost three years before the final tournament and lastover a two-year period. The formats of the qualification tournaments differ between confederations.Usually, one or two places are awarded to winners of intercontinental play-offs. For example, thewinner of the Oceanian zone and the fifth-placed team from the Asian zone entered a play-off for a

spot in the 2010 World Cup.[37] From the 1938 World Cup onwards, host nations receive automaticqualification to the final tournament. This right was also granted to the defending champions between1938 and 2002, but was withdrawn from the 2006 FIFA World Cup onward, requiring the champions

to qualify. Brazil, winners in 2002, were the first defending champions to play qualifying matches.[38]

Final tournament

The current final tournament features 32 national teams competing over a month in the host nation(s).

There are two stages: the group stage followed by the knockout stage.[39]

In the group stage, teams compete within eight groups of four teams each. Eight teams are seeded,including the hosts, with the other seeded teams selected using a formula based on the FIFA World

Rankings and/or performances in recent World Cups, and drawn to separate groups.[40] The otherteams are assigned to different "pots", usually based on geographical criteria, and teams in each potare drawn at random to the eight groups. Since 1998, constraints have been applied to the draw toensure that no group contains more than two European teams or more than one team from any other

confederation.[41]

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 8/26

Each group plays a round-robin tournament, in which each team is scheduled for three matchesagainst other teams in the same group. This means that a total of six matches are played within agroup. The last round of matches of each group is scheduled at the same time to preserve fairness

among all four teams.[42] The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage. Pointsare used to rank the teams within a group. Since 1994, three points have been awarded for a win, onefor a draw and none for a loss (before, winners received two points).

If one considers all possible outcomes (win, draw, loss) for all six matches in a group, there are 729

(= 36) different outcome combinations possible. However, a certain number (115) of thesecombinations lead to more than one team occupying the second place in the group. In such case, the

ranking among these teams is determined as follows:[43]

1. Greatest combined goal difference in all group matches

2. Greatest combined number of goals scored in all group matches

3. If more than one team remain level after applying the above criteria, their ranking will be

determined as follows:

1. Greatest number of points in head-to-head matches among those teams

2. Greatest goal difference in head-to-head matches among those teams

3. Greatest number of goals scored in head-to-head matches among those teams

4. If any of the teams above remain level after applying the above criteria, their ranking will be

determined by the drawing of lots

The knockout stage is a single-elimination tournament in which teams play each other in one-offmatches, with extra time and penalty shootouts used to decide the winner if necessary. It begins withthe round of 16 (or the second round) in which the winner of each group plays against the runner-upof another group. This is followed by the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, the third-place match

(contested by the losing semi-finalists), and the final.[39]

Hosts

Selection process

Early World Cups were given to countries at meetings of FIFA's congress. The locations werecontroversial because South America and Europe were by far the two centres of strength in footballand travel between them required three weeks by boat. The decision to hold the first World Cup in

Uruguay, for example, led to only four European nations competing.[44] The next two World Cupswere both held in Europe. The decision to hold the second of these in France was disputed, as theSouth American countries understood that the location would alternate between the two continents.

Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the 1938 FIFA World Cup.[45]

Since the 1958 FIFA World Cup, to avoid future boycotts or controversy, FIFA began a pattern ofalternating the hosts between the Americas and Europe, which continued until the 1998 FIFA WorldCup. The 2002 FIFA World Cup, hosted jointly by South Korea and Japan, was the first one held in

Asia, and the only tournament with multiple hosts.[46] South Africa became the first African nation to

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 9/26

host the World Cup in 2010. The 2014 FIFA World Cup is hosted by Brazil, the first held in South

America since 1978,[47] and is the first occasion where consecutive World Cups are held outsideEurope.

The host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA's Executive Committee. This is done under anexhaustive ballot system. The national football association of a country desiring to host the eventreceives a "Hosting Agreement" from FIFA, which explains the steps and requirements that areexpected from a strong bid. The bidding association also receives a form, the submission of whichrepresents the official confirmation of the candidacy. After this, a FIFA designated group of inspectorsvisit the country to identify that the country meets the requirements needed to host the event and areport on the country is produced. The decision on who will host the World Cup is usually made six orseven years in advance of the tournament. However, there have been occasions where the hosts ofmultiple future tournaments were announced at the same time, as was the case for the 2018 and 2022World Cups, which were awarded to Russia and Qatar respectively.

For the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, the final tournament is rotated between confederations, allowingonly countries from the chosen confederation (Africa in 2010, South America in 2014) to bid to hostthe tournament. The rotation policy was introduced after the controversy surrounding Germany'svictory over South Africa in the vote to host the 2006 tournament. However, the policy of continentalrotation will not continue beyond 2014, so any country, except those belonging to confederations that

hosted the two preceding tournaments, can apply as hosts for World Cups starting from 2018.[48] Thisis partly to avoid a similar scenario to the bidding process for the 2014 tournament, where Brazil wasthe only official bidder.

Performances

Six of the eight champions have won one of their titles while playing in their own homeland, theexceptions being Brazil, who finished as runners-up after losing the deciding match on home soil in1950, and Spain, which reached the second round on home soil in 1982. England (1966) and France(1998) won their only titles while playing as host nations. Uruguay (1930), Italy (1934) and Argentina(1978) won their first titles as host nations but have gone on to win again, while Germany (1974) wontheir second title on home soil.

Other nations have also been successful when hosting the tournament. Switzerland (quarter-finals1954), Sweden (runners-up in 1958), Chile (third place in 1962), Korea Republic (fourth place in2002), and Mexico (quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986) all have their best results when serving as hosts.So far, South Africa (2010) was the only host nation to fail to advance beyond the first round.

Organisation and media coverage

The World Cup was first televised in 1954 and is now the most widely viewed and followed sportingevent in the world, exceeding even the Olympic Games. The cumulative audience of all matches of the

2006 World Cup is estimated to be 26.29 billion.[1] 715.1 million individuals watched the final matchof this tournament (a ninth of the entire population of the planet). The 2006 World Cup draw, which

decided the distribution of teams into groups, was watched by 300 million viewers.[49] The World Cupattracts many sponsors such as Coca-Cola, McDonalds and Adidas. For these companies and many

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 10/26

more, being a sponsor strongly impacts their global brands. Host countries typically experience amulti-million dollar revenue increase from the month long event. It is predicted that Brazil will bring inmore than $11 billion in revenue for the 2014 World Cup.

Each FIFA World Cup since 1966 has its own mascot or logo. World Cup Willie, the mascot for the

1966 competition, was the first World Cup mascot.[50] Recent World Cups have also featured officialmatch balls specially designed for each World Cup.

Notes

1. ^ There was no official World Cup Third Place match in 1930; The United States and Yugoslavia lost in the semi-

finals. FIFA now recognises the United States as the third-placed team and Yugoslavia as the fourth-placed team,

using the overall records of the teams in the tournament.[52]

2. ^ Austria withdrew after the draw as a result of the Anschluss with Germany: some Austrian players subsequently

joined the German squad, leaving the tournament with 15 teams.

3. ^ a b There was no official World Cup final match in 1950.[53] The tournament winner was decided by a final

7/14/2014 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup 13/26

round-robin group contested by four teams (Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain). Coincidentally, one of the last

two matches of the tournament pitted the two top ranked teams against each other, with Uruguay's 2–1 victory

over Brazil thus often being considered as the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup.[54] Likewise, the game

between the lowest ranked teams, played at the same time as Uruguay vs Brazil, can be considered equal to a

Third Place match, with Sweden's 3–1 victory over Spain ensuring that they finished third.

4. ^ Only 13 teams played the 1950 FIFA World Cup.[53] 16 teams entered the seeding groups draw. However,

Turkey and Scotland both withdrew before the draw; France (eliminated in qualifying) was invited as a

replacement, leaving the tournament to be held with 15 teams. After the draw, India and France both withdrew,

so only 13 teams participated in the tournament.

In all, 76 nations have played in at least one World Cup.[55] Of these, eight national teams have wonthe World Cup, and they have added stars to their badges, with each star representing a World Cupvictory. (Uruguay, however, choose to display four stars on their badge, representing their two goldmedals at the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics and their two World Cup titles in 1930 and 1950.)

With five titles, Brazil are the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have played

in every World Cup (19) to date,[56] and hosting the 20th in 2014. Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil(1958 and 1962) are the only nations to have won consecutive titles. West Germany (1982–1990) andBrazil (1994–2002) are the only nations to appear in three consecutive World Cup finals. Germanyhave made the most top-four finishes, with thirteen, top-three finishes, with twelve, as well as themost top-two finishes, with eight.

Best performances by continental zones

To date, the final of the World Cup has only been contested by teams from the UEFA (Europe) andCONMEBOL (South America) confederations. European nations have won 11 titles; South Americanteams have won nine. Only two teams from outside these two continents have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: USA (North, Central America and Caribbean) in 1930 and South Korea (Asia)in 2002. The best result of an African team is reaching the quarter-finals: Cameroon in 1990, Senegalin 2002 and Ghana in 2010. Only one Oceanian qualifier, Australia in 2006, has advanced to the

second round.[57]

Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Germany are the only teams to win a World Cup outside their continentalconfederation; Brazil came out victorious in Europe (1958), North America (1970 and 1994) and Asia(2002), Argentina won a North American World Cup in 1986, while Spain won an African World Cupin 2010. Germany was the first European team to win in South America in 2014. Only on fouroccasions have consecutive World Cups been won by teams from the same continent – Italy and Brazilsuccessfully defended their titles in 1938 and 1962 respectively, while Spain's 2010 and Germany's2014 triumphs followed Italy's in 2006.

Records and statistics

Two players share the record for playing in the most World Cups; Mexico's Antonio Carbajal (1950–

1966) and Germany's Lothar Matthäus (1982–1998) all played in five tournaments.[64] Matthäus has

played the most World Cup matches overall, with 25 appearances.[65] Brazil's Djalma Santos (1954–1962), West Germany's Franz Beckenbauer (1966–1974) and Germany's Philipp Lahm (2006–2014)

are the only players to be named to three Finals All-Star Teams.[66]

Miroslav Klose of Germany (2002–2014) is the all-time top scorer at the finals, with 16 goals. He brokeRonaldo of Brazil's record of 15 goals (1998–2006) during 2014 semi-final match against Brazil. West

Germany's Gerd Müller (1970–1974) is third, with 14 goals.[67] The fourth placed goalscorer, France'sJust Fontaine, holds the record for the most goals scored in a single World Cup; all his 13 goals were

scored in the 1958 tournament.[68]

In November 2007, FIFA announced that all members of World Cup-winning squads between 1930

and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners' medals.[33] This made Brazil's Pelé the only playerto have won three World Cup winners' medals (1958, 1962, and 1970, although he did not play in the

1962 final due to injury),[69] with 20 other players who have won two winners' medals. Seven playershave collected all three types of World Cup medals (winners', runner- ups', and third-place); fiveplayers were from West Germany's squad of 1966–1974 including Franz Beckenbauer, Italy's FrancoBaresi (1982, 1990, 1994) and the most recent has been Miroslav Klose of Germany (2002–2014) with4 consecutive medals.

Brazil's Mário Zagallo and West Germany's Franz Beckenbauer are the only people to date to win theWorld Cup as both player and head coach. Zagallo won in 1958 and 1962 as a player and in 1970 as

head coach.[70] Beckenbauer won in 1974 as captain and in 1990 as head coach.[71] Italy's Vittorio

Pozzo is the only head coach to ever win two World Cups (1934 and 1938).[72] All World Cup winninghead coaches were natives of the country they coached to victory.

Seven players have won gold, siver and bronze medals at the World Cup: Germans Sepp Maier, FranzBeckenbauer, Wolfgang Overath, Jürgen Grabowski, Horst-Dieter Höttges (1974, 1966, 1970respectively), Miroslav Klose (2014, 2002, 2006/2010 respectively) and Italian Franco Baresi (1982,1994, 1990 respectively).

Among the national teams, Germany has played the most World Cup matches (106) and appeared inthe most finals (8), semi-finals (13), quarter-finals (16) as well as scoring the most World Cup goals

(224), whilst Brazil has appeared in the most World Cups (20).[73] The two teams have played eachother twice in the World Cup, in the 2002 final and in the 2014 semi-final.
