List of FIFA World Cup penalty shoot-outs

This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have taken place in the final tournaments of the FIFA World Cup.

For knockout matches tied after regulation and extra time, the first editions of the FIFA World Cup up until 1958 used the rule of replaying the game. With fixtures becoming increasingly crowded, drawn matches from 1962 in quarter-finals and semi-finals would have been decided by drawing of lots (although no games ever required drawing of lots to determine a winner). Replacement of the rules was first proposed in 1970 to the IFAB, and penalty shoot-outs were adopted for the new format of the 1978 tournament, although the replay rule for the final matches remained in place until 1982.

In practice, penalty shoot-outs did not occur before 1982. Three times, in 1994, 2006, and 2022, the World Cup title has been decided by a penalty shoot-out. Of the 39 shoot-outs that have taken place in the competition, only three reached the sudden death stage after still being tied at the end of five kicks. Three times the shoot-outs required only 7 kicks, compared to the theoretical minimum of 6 kicks necessary.

By tournament Before the introduction of penalty shoot-outs in 1978: Of the 35 knock-out matches from 1930 to 1938, 31 were decided within at most 120 minutes, the remaining 4 matches – one in 1934 and three in 1938 – were decided by replays. There were no knock-out matches in 1950. All 42 knock-out matches from 1954 to 1974 were decided within at most 120 minutes, so no replays or drawing of lots were needed.
