This quiz focuses on identifying FIFA World Cup winners by year, helping you build a clean timeline of champions across decades.

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think it through and learn as you go.

Practice linking tournament years to the correct winning nation
Spot patterns by era (dominant teams, repeat champions, long gaps)
Avoid confusing hosts, runners-up, and third-place teams with winners
Watch for adjacent-year mix-ups and similar-looking flags/names in options
Use the no-timer format to recall finals you’ve watched or read about

Common pitfalls to avoid

Most misses come from mixing up the winner with the finalist, or remembering a famous tournament moment and assigning it to the wrong champion. Slow down on early editions and on years where multiple strong teams were in contention.
