The 2026 World Cup has finally come to its conclusion. Spain lifted the famous trophy after a total of 104 matches were played between 48 teams, and with over 300 goals being scored. On the pitch, there was certainly entertainment throughout, but many supporters will be looking forward to seeing the back of hydration breaks and be praying we never have to witness another half hour half-time show ever again.
Attention will now begin to turn back to club football and what should be a frantic transfer window, and with this in mind, it got us thinking which clubs have been the best at the World Cup down the years? Here at Transfermarkt, we have calculated the clubs with the most World Cup winners since the tournament’s inauguration in 1930. Let’s reveal the top 20.
