    Results

    Team results by tournament
    Legend

    The team ranking in each tournament is according to FIFA.[2] The rankings, apart from the top four positions, are not a result of direct competition between the teams; instead, teams eliminated in the same round are ranked by their full results in the tournament. In recent tournaments, FIFA has used the rankings for seedings for the final tournament draw.[3]

    For each tournament, the number of teams in each finals tournament (in brackets) are shown.
