6 countries who have won the World Cup on home soil 

#3 West Germany

Germany lifted their second World Cup trophy in 1974

West Germany or just Germany as they are now known were able to bounce back from the disappointment of that final in England just eight years later when they lifted the World Cup in their home country. The final of the 1974 World Cup took place at the Olympiastadion in Munich, West Germany a stadium that had only been built two years earlier when the country hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics.

This was West Germany's second World Cup final and second victory after they were already able to lift the trophy following a 3-2 win over Hungary at the 1954 World Cup. This time, Germany took on The Netherlands in a game where the Dutch took the lead after just two minutes via a penalty from Johan Neeskens.

Paul Breitner went on to equalize from the spot in the 25th minute, which swung the game into Germany's favor since this was then followed up by Gerd Müller just minutes before halftime.

Germany have now won four World Cups and are the current holders following their victory over Argentina back in 2014, but they have already been eliminated from this year's finals after a poor showing in the group stages.
