All 46 Teams

Making their historic first-ever World Cup appearance in 2026 — a dream achieved after decades of development in Albanian football.

Their 1954 squad was one of the most entertaining ever — won a 7-5 thriller vs Switzerland. Marko Arnautović flies the flag today.

Croatia punches massively above its weight. Finished 3rd in both 1998 and 2022. Luka Modric led them to the 2018 final.

The Danish Dynamite! 1986 debut was electric — 6-1 vs Uruguay. Reached QF in 1998. Michael Laudrup is their greatest ever player.

Won the only World Cup on home soil at Wembley in 1966, led by Bobby Moore. "Football's coming home" rings out every tournament.

Won on home soil in 1998 with Zinedine Zidane at his peak, then stunned the world again in Russia 2018 with a crop of young stars.

Most consistent World Cup nation — never failed to advance from the group stage until 2018. Won the 2014 title with a 1-0 final win over Argentina.

Three-time runners-up — the great nearly-men of world football. The 1974 Total Football team led by Johan Cruyff is considered one of the greatest WC teams ever.

Eusébio starred in their 3rd-place finish at England 1966. Cristiano Ronaldo has pushed them to multiple quarter-finals and beyond.

Scotland have never advanced beyond the group stage, often exiting on goal difference. But their passionate fans make every tournament memorable.

Competing as Yugoslavia, they were WC regulars. As Serbia since 2006, still a tough opponent. Dragiša Binić and Dragan Džajić are icons.

Slovakia's 2010 debut was memorable — they beat Italy in the group stage (the reigning world champions!) and reached the R16.

A small nation of 2 million that punches above its weight. Jan Oblak is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Won in South Africa 2010 with the iconic tiki-taka style. Andres Iniesta scored the only goal in extra time against Netherlands.

Switzerland have been WC regulars for 90 years. Always qualify, always competitive, rarely go deep. Beat France in the 2020 Euros in a stunning upset.

Turkey's 2002 World Cup campaign was a tournament sensation. Hakan Şükür scored the fastest ever WC goal — 11 seconds — in the 3rd-place match.
