Major achievements in association football by nation

This article contains lists of achievements in major senior-level international association football, futsal and beach soccer tournaments according to first-place, second-place and third-place results obtained by teams representing different nations. The objective is not to create combined medal tables; the focus is on listing the best positions achieved by teams in major international tournaments, ranking the nations according to the most number of podiums accomplished by teams of these nations.

Results

For the making of these lists, results from following major international tournaments were consulted:

Form	Governing body	Tournament	Edition
Form	Governing body	Tournament	First	Latest	Next
Association football	FIFA & IOC	Football at the Summer Olympics (quadrennially)	1900	2016	2020
	FIFA	FIFA World Cup (quadrennially)	1930	2018	2022
		FIFA Women's World Cup (quadrennially)	1991	2019	2023
		FIFA Confederations Cup (quadrennially)	1992	2017	Defunct
Futsal	FIFA	FIFA Futsal World Cup (quadrennially)	1989	2016	2020
Beach soccer	FIFA	FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup (biennially)	1995	2017	2019

Medals earned by athletes from defunct National Olympic Committees (NOCs) or historical teams are NOT merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does NOT combine medals of these nations or teams.[1]

The tables are pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.
