who won last world cup

Argentina won the last FIFA World Cup, beating France in the 2022 final in Qatar on penalties after a 3–3 draw.

Quick Scoop

• Winner: Argentina (2022 FIFA World Cup).
• Runner‑up: France.
• Final score: 3–3 after extra time; Argentina won 4–2 on penalties.

• Where: Lusail Stadium, Qatar.

• Star of the tournament: Lionel Messi, whose performance helped secure Argentina’s third World Cup title (after 1978 and 1986).

This 2022 final is widely described as one of the greatest World Cup finals ever, with dramatic momentum swings, a hat trick from Kylian Mbappé for France, and clutch goals from Messi for Argentina.

Tiny bit of “what’s next”

The next men’s World Cup is scheduled for 2026 and will be hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with an expanded 48‑team format, so the 2022 Argentina win is still the latest completed World Cup as of early 2026.
