Copa do Mundo FIFA: Created in 1930, with the first edition in Uruguay, it is the biggest national-team competition in the world and the most watched tournament on the planet. Brazil are the only five-time champions, with titles in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, followed by Germany and Italy with four each. Held every four years, it grew from thirteen to 32 teams over time and expanded to 48 from the 2026 edition, hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Senegal: The Lions of Teranga introduced themselves to the world in spectacular fashion: on their World Cup debut in 2002 in South Korea and Japan they beat reigning champions France 1-0 with a Papa Bouba Diop goal, fielding a squad drawn almost entirely from French football, and reached the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Turkey with a golden goal. El Hadji Diouf was the star of that side, captained by Aliou Cissé. In 2018 it made history of an unwanted kind, becoming the first team eliminated from the group stage on the fair play (yellow card) tiebreaker. Its first African title came at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, played in 2022, with Cissé now coach and Sadio Mané scoring the decisive penalty against Egypt, after two lost finals in 2002 and 2019. Mané and Kalidou Koulibaly are the biggest names of the recent generation.
Iraque: The story of Iraqi football is inseparable from the country's history. In 1986, in the middle of the war with Iran and playing its home games abroad, the team coached by Brazilian Evaristo de Macedo played its only World Cup until then, in Mexico, where Ahmed Radhi scored its only goal, against Belgium. In the following years, players reported punishment and torture under Uday Hussein, Saddam's son, who ran sport in the country. Its defining moment came in 2007: amid the sectarian violence that followed the US invasion, Iraq, coached by Brazilian Jorvan Vieira, won the Asian Cup with a Younis Mahmoud header against Saudi Arabia in the final, a title celebrated by Shias, Sunnis and Kurds alike. It has also won four Gulf Cups and returned to the World Cup in 2026, 40 years later.
