The FIFA World Cup results for Germany and West Germany are listed here. FIFA only takes into account the teams that were coached by the Deutscher Fußball-Bund for Germany’s World Cup history, which spans three eras: West Germany, the reunified Germany, and Germany (during the Nazi era). With four titles, four second-place finishes, four third-place finishes, and one fourth-place finish, the German national football team is among the most successful national teams at the FIFA World Cup.
The 12 victories Germany has accrued in 20 competitions are at least three more than any other country, if third place or better is considered a successful campaign. In addition, every decade there was a tournament held—the 1930s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s—Germany was the only team to finish on the podium (third place or better).
They were one of the four national teams to win the 2014 FIFA World Cup in South America outside of their respective continental confederation, along with Argentina, Brazil, and Spain. Only three times—in 1938, 2018 and 2022—did the team—which was the second-most frequent participant—fail to advance past the quarterfinals in the 22 tournaments.
With that said, Germany’s eighth place or better (quarterfinals) finish in 17 out of 20 competitions (85%) now stands as the FIFA World Cup Finals’ highest mark. If points were given out proportionally for winning the championship, coming in second place, taking third place, and making it to the semi-finals and quarterfinals, Germany would be the better team in tournament history in terms of final standings.
How many times has Germany won the FIFA World Cup?
Since 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014, Germany has won the FIFA World Cup four times. When it comes to football, Germany is one of the most well-liked nations in the world. Die Mannschaft are almost always the favourites to win a World Cup due to their extensive history of producing legends and stars.
