Pelé is the most successful World Cup soccer player ever, with three World Cup titles to his name.
The 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup, a tournament contested every four years, kicks off in just over two weeks on June 14, and pits 32 nations against each other over a three-week period.
Brazil is the most successful World Cup nation of all time, lifting the cup five times, followed closely by Germany and Italy on four tournaments.
The Seleção won its first title in 1958, when a 17-year-old Pelé burst onto the scene. Pelé went on to lift three World Cup titles, the most for any individual soccer player ever.
Only eight nations have won the World Cup - with five of those teams winning more than once.
In this list we profile all the winners since the first tournament, held in the South American nation of Uruguay back in 1930.
