FIFA World Cup winners list & odds for a new World Cup winner

Eight nations feature on the FIFA World Cup winners list and seven of those teams will again be going for glory at Qatar 2022.

Brazil hold the record with five victories, Germany and Italy both have four, while Argentina, France and Uruguay each have two apiece.

Spain and England have prevailed once and, with only the Azzurri missing out on qualifying, it is 3/10 for a former champion to lift the trophy this year.

However, with the likes of Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and Denmark out to break their duck, the odds for a new World Cup winner are 21/10.
