Bing FIFA World Cup Quiz – Finals, Teams and Records
The FIFA World Cup is the most watched sporting event on the planet. Since the first tournament in Uruguay in 1930, it has produced heroes, villains and moments that fans still argue about. Many details, however, are easy to forget or mix up.
Brazil leads with five titles, and Pelé is the only player to win three. Some matches are remembered for controversy, such as Diego Maradona's Hand of God in 1986, and others for drama, like the Miracle of Bern in 1954 or Italy's penalty loss to Brazil in 1994.
Records tell their own story. Just Fontaine scored 13 goals at the 1958 tournament, still a single-tournament record. The original Jules Rimet trophy was stolen in 1983 and never recovered, which is why today's trophy has a different design.
The tournament has grown and traveled. South Korea and Japan co-hosted in 2002, South Africa brought the World Cup to Africa in 2010, and the 2026 edition in the United States, Canada and Mexico was the first with 48 teams.
