How do teams become champions?
To become World Cup champions, teams must navigate a challenging tournament structure, progressing through group stages and then knockout rounds. France, as 2018 champions, know this path well, while Spain won in 2010. It requires consistent performance, tactical skill, and a bit of luck to lift the coveted trophy.
