Learning about the death of the last player who played the Final of 1958, I wanted to know how many of his teammates were still alive and doing it, I learned that the first 1990 World Champion has recently died, so I decided to create this to display this information : visually show how many Football/Soccer World Champions are still alive.
Brazil 1958 is the last team with living players. Brazil 1994 is the oldest with all living players.
The first World Champion to die was Umberto Caligaris for Italy in 1940.
In a couple of months between 1973/1974 saw the first players of Uruguay's 1950, West Germany's 1954 and Brazil's 1970 teams to pass away.
There are no longer any Uruguayan World Champions that are alive. It's the only country in this case.
