À elles trois, elles comptent 13 titres de champions du monde : cinq pour le Brésil, quatre pour l’Allemagne et quatre pour l’Italie. Un palmarès qui mesure leur immense poids dans l’histoire du football.

Pourtant, les résultats récents racontent une autre histoire. Ces trois géants ne semblent plus aussi intouchables qu’auparavant.

Le Brésil, loin de ses standards habituels

Le Brésil reste la nation la plus titrée de l’histoire du Mondial avec cinq sacres, mais le dernier remonte à 2002. Depuis, la Seleção n’a plus atteint la finale. En 2026, elle a encore été stoppée en huitièmes de finale par la Norvège (1-2), après avoir éliminé le Japon au tour précédent.

Même avec Carlo Ancelotti, le nouveau cycle peine encore à trouver sa pleine vitesse. En septembre, le Brésil a notamment été accroché par l’Australie (1-1).

L’Allemagne en quête de stabilité

Quatre fois championne du monde, l’Allemagne n’a plus remporté le trophée depuis 2014. Après deux éliminations consécutives en phase de groupes en 2018 et 2022, la Mannschaft a de nouveau connu une sortie précoce en 2026.

La rentrée internationale n’a pas davantage rassuré, avec notamment un match nul contre les Pays-Bas, avant une autre contre-performance face à la Grèce. Un début de cycle délicat pour Jürgen Klopp, désormais chargé de relancer une sélection qui cherche à retrouver de la régularité.

L’Italie, le symbole le plus frappant

Pour l’Italie, la situation est encore plus marquante. La Nazionale compte quatre Coupes du monde, mais elle a manqué les trois dernières éditions.

Éliminée en mars 2026 par la Bosnie-Herzégovine en barrage, elle reste donc éloignée des grands rendez-vous mondiaux. Le retour de Roberto Mancini doit permettre d’ouvrir un nouveau chapitre, mais les débuts sont compliqués, avec notamment une défaite contre la Belgique.

13 titres, mais une autre réalité

Brésil, Allemagne et Italie totalisent toujours 13 titres mondiaux. Un chiffre qui rappelle leur place exceptionnelle dans l’histoire du football.

Mais sur le terrain, leurs résultats récents témoignent d’un changement. Ces trois géants restent des références, mais leur seul nom ne suffit désormais plus à impressionner comme autrefois.

Tigst Assefa came within sight of the world marathon record before late drama halted her challenge at the BMW Berlin Marathon 2026, but the Ethiopian held on to win the World Athletics Platinum Label road race in 2:11:04, the third-fastest time in history, on Sunday, 27 September.

Her training partner Guye Adola completed an Ethiopian double, winning the men’s contest in a PB of 2:02:50. It was his second victory in Berlin, five years after his first, and finally improved on the PB he had set on his marathon debut in the German capital nine years ago.

Assefa, meanwhile, produced one of the most remarkable record attempts in marathon history. At 40km she was still on course to challenge the world record of 2:09:56 before appearing to suffer a physical problem during the closing stages.

Until then, her pace had been relentless. The world and Olympic silver medallist reached 5km in 15:30 and was already well clear of the field by 10km, which she passed in 30:48. Defending champion Rosemary Wanjiru was second in 31:53, herself 26 seconds ahead of a 10-woman chase pack.

Assefa covered the next 10km in an even quicker 30:46, reaching 20km in 1:01:34, and hit halfway in 1:04:57, the third-fastest halfway split ever recorded in a women’s marathon.

By then her advantage had grown considerably. Wanjiru reached halfway almost three minutes behind in 1:07:42 and was just three seconds ahead of a chasing quartet comprising Bedatu Hirpa, Dera Dida, Pascaline Jelagat and Alemitu Tariku.

There was little sign of Assefa relenting. She passed 25km in 1:17:00, keeping her inside 2:10 pace, then produced her fastest 10km section of the race to reach 30km in 1:32:15. Her projected finishing time was back inside world record pace at 2:09:45.

Remarkably, she accelerated again between 30km and 35km, covering that section in 15:17 to reach the latter checkpoint in 1:47:32. That 5km split alone would have been enough for 13th place in the standalone women’s 5km at the recent World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen.

With Assefa more than five minutes clear and Ethiopian compatriots Hirpa, Dida and Tariku all projected to finish inside 2:16, the main intrigue centred on the clock.

A 3:02 37th kilometre put Assefa on schedule for about 2:09:36. She reached 40km in 2:03:00, still projecting a 2:09:44 finish and having produced extraordinarily consistent 10km sections of 30:48, 30:46, 30:41 and 30:45.

But almost immediately the picture changed. Assefa began running with a pronounced limp and was visibly grimacing as her pace dropped dramatically. It later transpired that she had suffered a partial tear of her achilles tendon.

With such an enormous advantage, she had time in hand, though, and made it to the Brandenburg Gate before crossing the line in 2:11:04. Despite the difficult finish, she took 49 seconds off the PB and course record of 2:11:53 she had set when winning in Berlin in 2023.

It was also Assefa’s third Berlin victory, following her wins in 2022 and 2023, and her third marathon triumph from her past four starts.

Behind her, Hirpa prevailed in a close battle for second, clocking 2:16:53 to finish two seconds ahead of Dida. Bekelech Gudeta was fourth in 2:18:58 and Tariku fifth in 2:19:01.

The men’s race remained tightly packed for considerably longer. A large lead group passed 10km in 28:58 and nine men remained together at halfway, reached in 1:01:01. Adola was joined there by Selemon Barega, Gemechu Dida, Andamlak Belihu, Shura Kitata, Asefa Boki, Getaneh Molla and Tanzania’s Gabriel Geay among the main contenders.

The group began to stretch out approaching 25km, and by 30km Adola had moved to the front. He reached that checkpoint in 1:26:57, putting him just outside 2:02 pace, with Barega, Dida and Geay still close behind.

Geay began to lose contact a couple of kilometres later and Adola then made the decisive move.

By 35km, he had opened a nine-second advantage over Dida, with Barega another four seconds adrift. The gap continued to grow during the closing stages and Adola was never seriously threatened again.

He crossed the line in 2:02:50, taking almost a minute off the PB he had set on his marathon debut in Berlin in 2017, when he finished second to Eliud Kipchoge.

It completed a perfect marathon season for Adola, who also won in Rotterdam in April in 2:03:54, and earned him a second Berlin title following his 2021 victory.

Dida finished strongly to take second in 2:03:19, while Geay secured third in 2:03:59. Molla was fourth in 2:04:55, three seconds ahead of Barega.
