1950

Technically, the 1950 World Cup championship was contested by a four-team final group involving Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain. However, the final match of the group between Uruguay and Brazil was the deciding match of the championship, and is now often regarded as the "de facto" final.footballbox

Trivia

*With five titles, Brazil is the most successful World Cup team. Italy follows with four titles, including the most recent one in 2006.
*Brazil and Italy are also the only nations to have won consecutive titles, each winning their first two titles back-to-back (Italy: 1934 and 1938; Brazil: 1958 and 1962).
*In 1970 and 1994, Brazil and Italy were finalists, each having a chance to become the first team to win a third title (and allowing them to keep the Jules Rimet trophy permanently) and a fourth title respectively. Brazil won both matches, and added a record fifth title in 2002.
*Brazil have won the World Cup in the four continents that the World Cup has been hosted at (Europe: 1958; South America: 1962; North America: 1970 & 1994; Asia: 2002). The only other team to win a World Cup outside its own continental zone is Argentina (1986 in North America).
*Italy, Brazil, West Germany, Argentina, as well as non-champions Netherlands, are the only teams to have ever appeared in consecutive finals, while Brazil and West Germany are the only two teams ever to appear in three consecutive World Cup final matches (1994, 1998, 2002 and 1982, 1986, 1990, respectively). Brazil won two out of the three (1994, 2002) and West Germany won only one (1990).
*Of the eighteen World Cup final matches, only twice have the same two teams contested the match. Brazil and Italy played in 1970 and 1994, and West Germany and Argentina in 1986 and 1990 (West Germany and Argentina also became the only two teams to meet in consecutive finals).
*Every final match has also featured at least one out of Brazil, Italy, (West) Germany, and Argentina, the four teams with the most appearances in the final match.
*Only five World Cup Finals have run into extra time, with two running into penalties. These were:
**1934: Italy 2–1 Czechoslovakia (1–1 after normal time)
**1966: England 4–2 West Germany (2–2 after normal time)
**1978: Argentina 3–1 Netherlands (1–1 after normal time)
**1994: Brazil 0–0 Italy (0–0 after normal time; Brazil win 3–2 on penalties); the only final with no goals scored
**2006: Italy 1–1 France (1–1 after normal time; Italy win 5–3 on penalties)
