Brazil became the first country to win the FIFA World Cup in two different continents.
Brazil won its first title in 1958 in Sweden, Europe. It then won again in 1962 in Chile, South America, before adding championships in Mexico in 1970, the United States in 1994 and South Korea and Japan in 2002. The 1958 victory therefore made Brazil the first nation to win a World Cup outside its own continent.
Brazil’s 1958 triumph was especially significant because no South American team had previously won a World Cup held in Europe. The team defeated Sweden 5–2 in the final in Stockholm, with Pelé scoring twice and Vavá also scoring twice.
This fact is different from the question of which country has won the most World Cups. Brazil also holds that record, with five titles. The phrase “in two different continents” refers to tournament locations, not the birthplace or nationality of the players in the squad.
