Just like in the first two editions of the games in 1930 and 1934, there are four other instances when the country that hosted the competition won the trophy as well -- England in 1966, West Germany in 1974, Argentina in 1978 and France in 1998.
Baš kao i na prva dva izdanja prvenstva 1930. i 1934, u još četiri slučaja je zemlja domaćin osvojila trofej: Engleska 1966, Zapadna Nemačka 1974. i Francuska 1998.
