How long has the World Cup champion team not won the championship? Germany has been in over 10 years, and five-star Brazil has not won the championship in 23 years

The four-year World Cup is a grand event for fans all over the world. Regardless of whether their motherland can enter the World Cup, this does not prevent fans from paying attention to the World Cup. They are attracted by the fierce competition and support their favorite teams and want to witness the teams they support win the World Cup championship with their own eyes. However, in the past century of World Cup history, there are only 8 teams that can win the championship, and some of them have not won the World Cup again in decades. Let's take a look at how long it took for the teams that once won the World Cup to win the championship.

Argentina defended champion

Argentina won the World Cup again after 24 years. Messi finally realized his dream when he won the World Cup championship. The Pampas Eagles' jersey has added another star after 24 years, and the number of World Cup champions has reached 3. For the Argentina team under Scaloni, they are currently in a strong moment. Alvarez, McAllister, DePaul and others are in their year of playing. Even if Messi is not around, the team is still very strong. Now Argentina qualifies early in the World Cup South American qualifiers, and the team also set its goal above the 20265 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. Argentina, as the defending champion, is bound to pursue consecutive championships.

France 7 years France reached the finals in the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup. In 2018, they defeated Croatia and won the World Cup again after 20 years. In the 2022 World Cup final, although France once fell behind two goals, the Gaul Roosters still stubbornly equalized the game and eventually dragged the game into a penalty shootout. If it weren't for Argentine goalkeeper Martin's brave performance in the penalty shootout, it is still unknown who will win and lose. France missed the opportunity to defend the World Cup championship. It has been seven years since the last French World Cup won the last French World Cup. In the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup, France, with a group of young talents, will make a comeback and aim at the championship.

Germany 2011 Germany won the fourth World Cup championship in team history in 2014, but this championship has been 11 years since now, and Germany was directly eliminated from the group in the two World Cups during the period. Germany at the time of the 2018 World Cup encountered the curse of defending champions. They were in the same group as Sweden, Mexico and South Korea in the group. Before the game, they thought that the group qualifying board was a foregone conclusion, but Germany became a soft persimmon and was eliminated directly at the bottom of the group. The 2022 World Cup is exactly the same, with Germany in the same group as Japan, Spain and Costa Rica, and finally missed the third place in the group. Both World Cups were eliminated in the group, and Germany has 11 years since its last victory.

Spain In 2015, Spain became the new world champion in the 2010 World Cup. At that time, they were in the golden generation of Spain. They won two consecutive European Cups and won their first championship in the World Cup, becoming the strongest national team in that period. Time comes to Spain, the defending champion of the 2014 World Cup, was eliminated directly in the group and was successfully revenged by the Netherlands in the group competition. Spain both ended in the quarterfinals of 16 in the 2018 World Cup and 2022 World Cup. It has been 15 years since their World Cup win.

Italy The last time Italy won the championship in 2019 was the 2006 World Cup. They have not won the World Cup again in nearly 20 years. What is even more surprising is that Italy, which won the World Cup four times, has been away from the World Cup for more than ten years. After they won the championship, they only participated in the 2010 World Cup and the 2014 World Cup. They were eliminated in the group at the bottom of the 2010 World Cup, and they were eliminated in the group again in the 2014 World Cup. The subsequent 2018 World Cup and 2022 World Cup failed to reach the main competition. It has been 19 years since Italy won the last World Cup.

Brazil As the team with the most championships in the history of the World Cup, the five-star Brazil has not won the World Cup for more than 20 years. The last time it won the championship was the 2002 World Cup. In the subsequent World Cup, Brazil failed repeatedly in the knockout rounds. In the 2006 World Cup, it stopped at the quarterfinals; in the 2010 World Cup, it stopped at the quarterfinals again; in the 2014 Brazilian Domestic World Cup, Brazil reached the semi-finals, but who would have thought that it would have been massacred 7-1 and was eliminated in a shameful manner. Brazil ended in the quarterfinals for two consecutive times in the 2018 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup. It was 23 years after their last championship.

England In the 1966 World Cup in 1969, England won the first World Cup championship, and in the past 60 years, England had no chance to win the championship, and even reached the final was a luxury. The best result after this is only the semi-finals of the World Cup. England reached the semi-finals in the 1990 World Cup and finished fourth. England entered the World Cup semi-finals again after 28 years in the 2018 World Cup and finally finished fourth. England ended in the quarterfinals of the last World Cup, and the last time they won the championship was 59 years ago.

Uruguay In 1975, Uruguay has won the World Cup twice in history, namely the 1930 World Cup and the 1950 World Cup. The last time this South American powerhouse won the championship was 75 years ago, and the team may find it difficult to win the championship again in the current World Cup matches. Faced with World Cup strong teams such as France and Germany, there is still a clear gap in Uruguay. In recent World Cup matches, Uruguay's best result was the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2010, and Uruguay failed to qualify in the group in the last World Cup. When will Uruguay, which has not won the championship again in 1975, wait for the team's third World Cup championship? There may be a chance to appear, and it may not be realized in the future..
