Brazil have won the World Cup a record of 5 times, & they are the only team to have played in every tournament. Italy have won 4 titles, & Germany are next with 3 titles. The other former champions are Uruguay, winners of the inaugural tournament, and Argentina, with 2 titles each. England & France have won a single title each, both at home, while Spain or the Netherlands will win their first World Cup in South Africa, which will also be the first win for a European team in a finals tournament held outside of Europe.
