Click or tap any country on the map. Football World Cup countries are highlighted in color; countries outside the tournament are shown in gray.
A short facts popup opens with the country flag, population, FIFA rank, team value, World Cup titles, most recent World Cup title year and best World Cup placement. If the selected country has a current World Cup team, a condensed group table opens directly underneath.
The selected country is highlighted, so it is easy to see which country the popup belongs to. Great Britain is split into separate clickable football nation regions in this variant, so England and Scotland open in different places on the map. Countries not in the current football World Cup are kept gray. Click the same country again, or use Close in the popup, to remove the selection.
Use Options to change the map style or to force English country names. Otherwise, country names follow the visitor's browser language when possible.
Population comes from World Bank Open Data. Football facts use the embedded World Cup team data in this page; if a value is missing, the popup shows “-”. World Bank metadata.
Use the download button to save the current map view as a PNG. If a country facts popup is open, the same short scrollable popup view will be included in the downloaded image.
