Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia. The 1966 FIFA World Cup Final was a football match contested on July 30, 1966, at Wembley Stadium in London to determine the victor of the 1966 FIFA World Cup, the ninth FIFA World Cup. England and West Germany competed in the match, which England won 4-2 after extra time to take the Jules Rimet Trophy.
