West Germany (1954-1990) and unified Germany (from 1994 onward) are combined as "Germany" in statistics.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia took over as the successor nation but did not inherit any World Cup titles (the Soviet Union never won a World Cup).
The 2026 World Cup in USA, Canada, and Mexico will crown the 23rd champion.
