This page is a list of all players who have won the men's FIFA World Cup tournament since its inception in 1930.
Participating teams have to register squads for each edition of the World Cup, which consisted of 22 players until 1998, then of 23 players from 2002 to 2018, and then of 26 players in 2022. Since 1978, winners' medals are given to all members of the winning squads. Prior to that, only players who were on the pitch during the final matches (or the de facto final in 1950) received medals. FIFA decided in 2007 to retroactively award winners' medals to all members of the winning squads between 1930 and 1974.
World Cup winning players are among a selected few who are officially allowed to touch the FIFA World Cup Trophy with bare hands, the group also including managers who have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.
Winning players
A total of 471 players have been in the winning team in the World Cup. Brazil's Pelé is the only one to have won three times, while another 20 have won twice. Only players from Brazil and Italy, and one player from Argentina, have won the World Cup more than once.
No player has won two World Cups both as captain. Italy's Giuseppe Meazza (1938), Brazil's Bellini (1958), Mauro (1962) and Cafu (2002), and Argentina's Daniel Passarella (1978) lifted the trophy once as captain, but were not captain for the other tournament they won. Argentina's Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, Brazil's Dunga, and France's Hugo Lloris captained their sides in two final matches, but only won on one occasion, while West Germany's Karl-Heinz Rummenigge lost both finals as captain.
Brazil's Vavá (1958, 1962) and Pelé (1958, 1970) scored in two finals for winning teams; three more players, West Germany's Paul Breitner and France's Zinedine Zidane and Kylian Mbappé, have scored in two finals, but only won on one occasion. England's Geoff Hurst (1966) scored a hat-trick for the winning team in the final, while Mbappé achieved a hat-trick in the final he lost.
Cafu is the only player to play in three finals: 1994, 1998 and 2002. Fellow Brazilians Castilho, Nílton Santos, Pelé, and Ronaldo, and West Germany's Pierre Littbarski and Lothar Matthäus, also were three times in a squad that reached the final, but none of them were on the pitch for all three finals.
Luis Monti is the only player to appear in two finals for different national teams. He played in the 1930 final for Argentina, who lost, and the 1934 final for Italy, who won. Attilio Demaría was also in Argentina's 1930 squad and Italy's 1934 squad, but appeared in neither final.
Brazil's Mário Zagallo, having triumphed in 1958 and 1962 as player, went on to win as the manager in 1970, becoming the first to win both as player and manager. West Germany's Franz Beckenbauer is the second, winning as captain in 1974 and as manager in 1990. France's Didier Deschamps is the third: he led his team to victory in 1998 as captain, and then in 2018 as manager.
Germany's Miroslav Klose is the only player to have won four World Cup medals: 2002 (silver), 2006, 2010 (both bronze) and 2014 (gold).
In the below table, years in bold indicate that the player appeared in the respective final match where his team won, while years in italics indicate that the player was an unused squad member in the respective tournament. Until 1974 members of squads who had not played in the respective final matches were not eligible for winners' medals, but in 2007 FIFA retroactively awarded 122 of these medals to the players concerned or their families.
