Find out which clubs have had the most World Cup winners in history.
Another World Cup has concluded and Spain were crowned champions for the second time as they defeated Argentina in the 2026 final.
Eight of the 26 members in La Roja's World Cup-winning squad are contracted to Barcelona and it's no surprise to see the Catalan giants feature prominently on this list.
However, Barcelona are pipped by three other European giants for possessing the most World Cup winners.
Two of the top three teams are Italian and it's Juventus that are top of the pile with 24 World Cup winners in their history, dating back to 1934 - although a Bianconeri player hasn't tasted World Cup glory since 2006 when Gianluigi Buffon, defenders Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta, midfielder Mauro Camoranesi and forward Alessandro Del Piero featured in Italy's triumph in Germany.
Splitting Juventus and Inter Milan in third is Bayern Munich, whose record of having a player in every World Cup final since 1978 was ended this year.
Behind Barcelona in fifth is Roma, who pipped Brazilian giants Santos and Uruguayan outfit Club Atlético Peñarol.
Real Madrid are in eighth with 12 World Cup winners in their history. Los Blancos had no players feature in Spain's World Cup squad for the first time in the tournament's history in 2026, but there were Real Madrid players that played a pivotal role in La Roja's maiden World Cup success in 2010.
Sao Paulo rank ninth, with all five World Cups won by Brazil featuring at least one of their players, while a second Uruguayan club in Nacional complete the top 10.
