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.

Argentina: A three-time world champion, it won the 1978 World Cup on home soil behind Mario Kempes's goals; 1986 in Mexico, with Diego Maradona's masterpiece, including both the "Hand of God" and the "Goal of the Century" against England in the same match; and 2022 in Qatar, in a final against France settled on penalties that finally crowned Lionel Messi. It is the most successful side in Copa América history, with 16 titles, the latest in 2021 at the Maracanã and in 2024, and has two Olympic gold medals (2004 and 2008). It has also lost several World Cup finals: 1930 to Uruguay, 1990 and 2014 to Germany, and 2026, when it arrived as holders and lost 1-0 to Spain after extra time. Alfredo Di Stéfano, who made his name in Spain, completes its gallery of geniuses.

Áustria: In the 1930s it had the Wunderteam, Hugo Meisl and Matthias Sindelar's side that dazzled Europe and finished fourth at the 1934 World Cup; it qualified for 1938 but never played, as the country had been annexed by Nazi Germany months earlier. Its best finish is third place in 1954 in Switzerland, a tournament in which it beat the hosts 7-5, the highest-scoring match in World Cup history. In 1978 in Argentina it pulled off the "Miracle of Córdoba", a 3-2 win over reigning champions West Germany with two goals from Hans Krankl. After 1998 it spent 28 years away from the World Cup, returning in 2026 under Ralf Rangnick.
