The list of every World Cup winner covers almost a century of soccer history. 

After an entertaining tournament in Qatar in 2022, the next World Cup takes place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico in 2026. 

Argentina will be looking to defend their title after beating France in the final in Lusail in the previous edition.  

Brazil and England are the two World Cup favourites at the time of writing, according to the latest soccer odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook

Will either of these squads add their name to the historic list of FIFA World Cup champs?
