The nations with the most World Cup semi-final appearances | OneFootball

Did you know? Spain and Portugal are not among the top 10 nations with the most World Cup semi-final appearances.

On the other hand, Sweden, Uruguay, and Croatia do indeed have a place in this pantheon of the final four.

Many would think that mighty Brazil (8 semi-finals) tops this ranking. And yet, it is Germany that sits at the top with 12 appearances in the final four of the World Cup.

France completes the podium with 8 semi-final appearances (1958, 1982, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2018, 2022 and 2026) in just 17 participations.
