[
edit
]
The system used in the World Cup up to 1990 was 2 points for a win. In this ranking
3 points are awarded for a win
, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in
extra time
are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by
penalty shoot-outs
are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.

Germany
, officially the Federal Republic of Germany since 1949, has been represented by the same governing body, the
Deutscher FuĂball-Bund
(DFB), since 1904. Following
World War II
and the division of Germany, the DFB was re-admitted to FIFA after the 1950 World Cup as
West Germany
.
Saar
competed in the 1954 World Cup qualifying before joining West Germany in 1956.
East Germany
fielded
teams
of their own from 1958 to 1990 before joining with
West Germany
and the DFB during the
German reunification
. FIFA officially attributes all international results of the DFB team since 1908 to Germany, including the results of
West Germany
from 1954â1990.
^
The
Soviet Union
qualified seven times prior to
its dissolution
in 1991. The 15 former nations
Soviet republics
now compete separately. FIFA considers
Russia
as the successor team of the Soviet Union.
^
The
Yugoslavia national football team
qualified eight times during eras of
Kingdom of Yugoslavia
(1930) and the
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(1950â1990). They qualified from 1930â1990 under the name Yugoslavia before its
breakup
in 1992 by the secession of many of its constituent republics. They qualified once in 1998 as the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
, then changed its name to
Serbia and Montenegro
in 2003, only qualifying under that name in 2006. All of these teams are considered the predecessors of the current
Serbia
team by FIFA, which first qualified under that name in 2010. The other national teams that resulted from the breakup of the SFR Yugoslavia in 1992 â
Croatia
,
Slovenia
,
Bosnia and Herzegovina
, and
North Macedonia
â are considered distinct entities from the Yugoslavia team of 1930â1990.
Montenegro
now also competes separately after independence in 2006 and
Kosovo
was recognized by FIFA in 2016.
^
a
b
Czechoslovakia
qualified eight times prior to
being divided
into
Slovakia
and the
Czech Republic
in 1993. FIFA considers both the
Czech Republic
and
Slovakia
the successor team of Czechoslovakia. The Czech Republic national team qualified for the World Cup for the first time as a separate nation in 2006, with Slovakia doing the same in 2010.
^
Indonesia
competed as the
Dutch East Indies
in 1938.
^
The
Democratic Republic of the Congo
competed as
Zaire

## Overall team records
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_records_and_statistics&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Overall team records")\]
The system used in the World Cup up to 1990 was 2 points for a win. In this ranking [3 points are awarded for a win](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_points_for_a_win "Three points for a win"), 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in [extra time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_time_\(association_football\) "Extra time (association football)") are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by [penalty shoot-outs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_shootout_\(association_football\) "Penalty shootout (association football)") are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_records_and_statistics#cite_note-all_time-31)[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_records_and_statistics#cite_note-32)

Following [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II") and the division of Germany, the DFB was re-admitted to FIFA after the 1950 World Cup as [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germany "West Germany"). [Saar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar_Protectorate "Saar Protectorate") competed in the 1954 World Cup qualifying before joining West Germany in 1956. [East Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany "East Germany") fielded [teams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany_national_football_team "East Germany national football team") of their own from 1958 to 1990 before joining with [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germany "West Germany") and the DFB during the [German reunification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_reunification "German reunification"). FIFA officially attributes all international results of the DFB team since 1908 to Germany, including the results of [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_national_football_team "Germany national football team") from 1954â1990.

The 15 former nations [Soviet republics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republics_of_the_Soviet_Union "Republics of the Soviet Union") now compete separately.

They qualified from 1930â1990 under the name Yugoslavia before its [breakup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslavia#Breakup "Yugoslavia") in 1992 by the secession of many of its constituent republics. They qualified once in 1998 as the [Federal Republic of Yugoslavia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_and_Montenegro "Serbia and Montenegro"), then changed its name to [Serbia and Montenegro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_and_Montenegro "Serbia and Montenegro") in 2003, only qualifying under that name in 2006. All of these teams are considered the predecessors of the current [Serbia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_national_football_team "Serbia national football team") team by FIFA, which first qualified under that name in 2010. The other national teams that resulted from the breakup of the SFR Yugoslavia in 1992 â [Croatia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia_national_football_team "Croatia national football team"), [Slovenia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia_national_football_team "Slovenia national football team"), [Bosnia and Herzegovina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_national_football_team "Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team"), and [North Macedonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia_national_football_team "North Macedonia national football team") â are considered distinct entities from the Yugoslavia team of 1930â1990.

FIFA considers both the [Czech Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic_national_football_team "Czech Republic national football team") and [Slovakia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovakia_national_football_team "Slovakia national football team") the successor team of Czechoslovakia.

## Overall team records
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_records_and_statistics&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Overall team records")\]
The system used in the World Cup up to 1990 was 2 points for a win. In this ranking [3 points are awarded for a win](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_points_for_a_win "Three points for a win"), 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in [extra time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_time_\(association_football\) "Extra time (association football)") are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by [penalty shoot-outs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_shootout_\(association_football\) "Penalty shootout (association football)") are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_records_and_statistics#cite_note-all_time-31)[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_records_and_statistics#cite_note-32)

Following [World War II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II "World War II") and the division of Germany, the DFB was re-admitted to FIFA after the 1950 World Cup as [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germany "West Germany"). [Saar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar_Protectorate "Saar Protectorate") competed in the 1954 World Cup qualifying before joining West Germany in 1956. [East Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany "East Germany") fielded [teams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany_national_football_team "East Germany national football team") of their own from 1958 to 1990 before joining with [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germany "West Germany") and the DFB during the [German reunification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_reunification "German reunification"). FIFA officially attributes all international results of the DFB team since 1908 to Germany, including the results of [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_national_football_team "Germany national football team") from 1954â1990.

The 15 former nations [Soviet republics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republics_of_the_Soviet_Union "Republics of the Soviet Union") now compete separately. FIFA considers [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_national_football_team "Russia national football team") as the successor team of the Soviet Union.

They qualified from 1930â1990 under the name Yugoslavia before its [breakup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslavia#Breakup "Yugoslavia") in 1992 by the secession of many of its constituent republics. They qualified once in 1998 as the [Federal Republic of Yugoslavia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_and_Montenegro "Serbia and Montenegro"), then changed its name to [Serbia and Montenegro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_and_Montenegro "Serbia and Montenegro") in 2003, only qualifying under that name in 2006. All of these teams are considered the predecessors of the current [Serbia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_national_football_team "Serbia national football team") team by FIFA, which first qualified under that name in 2010. The other national teams that resulted from the breakup of the SFR Yugoslavia in 1992 â [Croatia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia_national_football_team "Croatia national football team"), [Slovenia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia_national_football_team "Slovenia national football team"), [Bosnia and Herzegovina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_national_football_team "Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team"), and [North Macedonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia_national_football_team "North Macedonia national football team") â are considered distinct entities from the Yugoslavia team of 1930â1990. [Montenegro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegro_national_football_team "Montenegro national football team") now also competes separately after independence in 2006 and [Kosovo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_national_football_team "Kosovo national football team") was recognized by FIFA in 2016.

FIFA considers both the [Czech Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic_national_football_team "Czech Republic national football team") and [Slovakia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovakia_national_football_team "Slovakia national football team") the successor team of Czechoslovakia.
