Browse World Cup teams in the 7a0 archive

The database is organized around the squads that can appear in the game. It currently connects national teams with tournament years from 1950 through 2026, allowing users to see which generations are represented before starting a draft. The archive is selective rather than a claim to include every national team that has ever qualified for a World Cup.

Country guides and tournament pages serve different tasks. A country page compares generations across several editions, while a World Cup year page explains the complete field for one tournament. Historic squad pages then provide the most detailed level, including players, positions, ratings and tactical context.

Winners from 1930 through 2026

World Cup-winning national teams

Eight nations have won the men's World Cup through the completed 2026 edition. Spain's 2026 victory was its second title.

Historic and successor national teams

The game preserves several historical team identities because their tournament squads belong to a specific football era. Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia therefore remain separate archive entries instead of being silently merged into current national teams. This keeps player pools and tournament context understandable.
