1966 World Cup Teams: All Matches, Final Scores, And Results

Taking place every four years, the FIFA World Cup for men’s senior national teams was held in 1966. The tournament took place in England from 11 July to 30 July 1966.

It was England’s national football team that won the tournament, defeating West Germany 4-2 in the final. Geoff Hurst scored his second and third goals in the extra time to complete the first (and until 2022, the only) hat-trick in a men’s World Cup final.

After Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 1934, England became the third host nation to win the event. However, Brazil did not advance from their group after the defending champions failed to advance.

In this article, we reveal the final results of each game and cover the 1966 World Cup teams .
