Serbia at the FIFA World Cup


This is a record of Serbia's results at the FIFA World Cup, including as their predecessor teams Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. FIFA recognizes Serbia as the official successor of the Yugoslav teams, and thus inherits all Yugoslavia's and Serbia and Montenegro's records.
Including their predecessors' records, Serbia has qualified for thirteen FIFA World Cup finals tournaments, last failing to do so in 2026.

Top goalscorers

Dražan Jerković's four goals at the 1962 FIFA World Cup were enough to secure him the shared Golden Boot Award and make him the top scorer at World Cups for the SFR Yugoslavia and its successor associations.
