Full List: Countries that have won back-to-back World Cups

The article discusses the rare feat of winning back-to-back FIFA World Cup titles, highlighting the only two nations to achieve this: Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962). Italy was the first to accomplish this, winning in 1934 and again in 1938 under coach Vittorio Pozzo. However, the World Cup was canceled during World War II, preventing them from attempting a third consecutive title. Brazil followed suit by winning in 1958 and 1962, with Pelé playing a pivotal role in both victories. Their attempt to secure a third straight title failed in 1966. The article notes that Argentina could join this exclusive group if they win the upcoming 2026 World Cup final.
