Data notes & caveats

Methodology

FIFA’s completed-tournament history is aggregated by recognised national-team continuity. Nations are ranked by titles, with finals reached used only to order equal title totals.

Source consistency notes

Titles, finals and latest championship years all use FIFA’s official historical framework and the same completed-tournament cutoff.
