This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have occurred in the Finals tournament of the FIFA World Cup. Penalty shoot-outs were introduced as tie-breakers in the 1978 World Cup but did not occur before 1982. The first time a World Cup title was won by penalty shoot-out was in 1994. The only other time was in 2006. By the end of the 2018 edition, 30 shoot-outs have taken place in the World Cup. In the 21 editions of the FIFA World Cup tournament, more than 2,000 goals have been scored. The first ever goal was scored by French player Lucien Laurent at the 1930 FIFA World Cup.

For the first time in the history of the World Cup final competition, the 'Golden Goal' rule will apply when the knock-out phase begins.
From the Round of 16 on, matches which are drawn after 90 minutes will go into extra time (2 x 15 minutes). The first team to score a goal in extra time will immediately be declared the winner. If there is no goal scored in 30 minutes of extra time, the match will be settled in the customary manner by a penalty shoot-out.
The 'Golden Goal' rule has been used by FIFA since the 1993 World Youth Championship in Australia and has become a regular feature of FIFA's youth competitions, the Olympic Football Tournaments and the FIFA/Confederations Cup.
The first World Cup 'Golden Goal' was scored on 16 November 1997 by a player who had only been on the pitch since the start of extra time. This was Japan's Masayuki Okada who scored in the 118th minute to clinch a 3-2 victory for his country against Iran in the AFC play-off match.
The two most famous 'Golden Goals' were both scored some two years ago. Only a few minutes into extra time, Germany's Oliver Bierhoff put an abrupt end to the dreams of the Czech Republic in the 1996 EURO final match. Later that year, Nwankwo Kanu sealed Brazil's fate in the Olympic semi-final, sending Nigeria to the gold medal match.
