The FIFA World Cup is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, when it was not held because of World War II.

The World Cup final is the last match of the competition, played by the only two teams remaining in contention, and the result determines which country is declared the world champion. It is a one-off match decided in regulation time. In case of a draw, extra time is used. If scores are then still level, a penalty shoot-out determines the winner,{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/81/42/36/lotg_en.pdf |title=Laws of the Game|access-date=9 February 2009 |publisher=FIFA.com (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206073655/https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/81/42/36/lotg_en.pdf |archive-date=6 December 2008 |url-status=dead }} under the rules in force since 1986; prior to that, finals still tied after extra time would have been replayed,{{#tag:ref|The 1962 and 1966 finals had provisions for only a single replay, and then a drawing of lots. For knockout matches other than the finals, penalty shoot-outs had been adopted from 1978, while lots would have been drawn between 1962 and 1974.{{cite web |url=https://www.fifamuseum.com/en/blog-stories/blog/why-the-lottery-that-is-penalty-shoot-outs-were-introduced-2610606/ |title=Why penalty shoot-outs were introduced |website=fifamuseum.com |date=22 April 2016 |access-date=25 January 2023 |archive-date=12 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230112213404/https://www.fifamuseum.com/en/blog-stories/blog/why-the-lottery-that-is-penalty-shoot-outs-were-introduced-2610606/ |url-status=live }}|group="n"}} though this never proved necessary. The golden goal rule would have applied during extra time in 1998 and 2002, but was not put in practice either.

The only exception to this type of format was the 1950 World Cup, which featured a final round-robin group of four teams; the decisive match of that group is often regarded as the de facto final of that tournament, including by FIFA itself.{{cite web |title=FIFA World Cup finals since 1930 |url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mcwc/ip-301_09a_wc-finals_alltime_8864.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514092024/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mcwc/ip-301_09a_wc-finals_alltime_8864.pdf |archive-date=14 May 2011 |access-date=3 February 2009 |publisher=FIFA.com (Fédération Internationale de Football Association)}}

The team that wins the final receives the FIFA World Cup Trophy, and its name is engraved on the bottom side of the trophy.{{cite news |url=http://globotv.globo.com/rede-globo/jornal-da-globo/t/edicoes/v/taca-da-copa-do-mundo-chega-ao-brasil/3296190/ |title=Taça da Copa do Mundo chega ao Brasil (World Cup trophy arrives in Brazil) |publisher=Globo TV |access-date=22 April 2014 |date=21 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606205424/http://globotv.globo.com/rede-globo/jornal-da-globo/t/edicoes/v/taca-da-copa-do-mundo-chega-ao-brasil/3296190/ |archive-date=6 June 2014 |url-status=live }} Of 80 nations that have appeared in the tournament, 13 have made it to the final, and 8 have won. Brazil, the only team that has participated in every World Cup, is also the most successful team in the competition, having won five titles and finished second twice.{{cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/world/2002/world_cup/teams/brazil/ |title=World Cup Spotlight on Brazil |publisher=CNN |access-date=29 January 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130401141133/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/world/2002/world_cup/teams/brazil/ |archive-date=1 April 2013 |url-status=dead }} Italy and Germany{{#tag:ref|The team's totals include the records of West Germany (1954–1990).{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/01/18/03/18/fs-201_08a_fwc-alltimeranking.pdf |title=All-time FIFA World Cup Ranking 1930-2010 |publisher=FIFA.com (Fédération Internationale de Football Association)|access-date=30 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013131016/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompwc/01/18/03/18/fs-201_08a_fwc-alltimeranking.pdf |archive-date=13 October 2017 |url-status=live }}|group="n"}} have four titles each, with Germany having reached more finals than any other team, eight. Current champion Argentina has three titles, Uruguay and France have two each, while England and Spain have one each. Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Sweden, the Netherlands and Croatia have played in the final without winning. Only teams from Europe (UEFA) and South America (CONMEBOL) have ever competed in the final.

Argentina defeated France on penalties in the latest final, staged at Qatar's Lusail Stadium in 2022.
