Brazil

The only country to appear in all editions of the World Cup, the South American side would be looking for their sixth trophy this time. The team suffered a humiliating defeat on their home-ground back in the 2014 edition of the cup, when they lost by a margin of 7-1 to eventual winners, Germany.

Switzerland

The Swiss team will be playing in the World Cup finals for the tenth time, with their best finishes being a quarter final exit on three occasions. Back in 2014, they were eliminated in the second round.

Costa Rica

The Central American side would be appearing at the global event for the fifth time. The quarter-final exit at the 2014 World Cup was their best performance at the tournament.

Serbia

This would be the team's twelfth appearance at the World Cup finals overall, while being their second as the Republic of Serbia. Their best finish was the achievement of third place back in the inaugural edition of the World Cup, while the most recent appearance was at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
