We've taken a look at the players and teams to have made the most appearances in the World Cup.
Of the 80 countries to have ever reached the World Cup finals, only Brazil have featured at every single one since the tournament's inception in 1930.
No country has equalled the Selecao's five wins in the competition, and Germany are the closest to their record of 23 appearances in the finals, with the 2014 winners having appeared 21 times.
Meanwhile Mexico are the only team to feature on this list without having ever lifted the coveted trophy.
The CONCACAF giants have twice hosted the tournament, but have never progressed beyond the last eight - reaching the quarter-final twice on home soil in 1970 and 1986.
