The History Of World Cup Football

Facebook Twitter The FIFA World Cup (sometimes called the FIFA World Cup or simply the World Cup) is the most important competition in international football (soccer) and the most representative team sporting event in the world. The FIFA World Cup is organized by the International Football Federation (FIFA). The championship is awarded every four years, starting with the first competition in 1930 (except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II), but is largely permanent as the qualifiers for the competition take place three years before. tournament. final round. The Final of the Finals (often referred to as the "Finals") is the world's most widely reported sporting event, in which 32 national teams compete for four weeks in a previously designated host country [1]. Of the 17 tournaments held, only seven have won the World Cup final. Brazil is the current World Cup winner and the most successful team to have won the competition five times, with Germany and Italy winning three each. The next final of the FIFA World Cup will be held in Germany.
The first international football match was played between England and Scotland in 1872, but at this stage the sport was rarely played outside England. As soccer began to become popular, it was held as a wartime sport (without medals) at the 1900, 1904 and 1906 Summer Olympics, and soccer became an official sport at the 1908 Summer Olympics. Hosted by the British Football Association, the tournament was only for amateur players and was considered a show rather than a competition. England's national amateur football team won the tournament in 1908 and 1912. Since the
Olympic Games were still competition between amateur teams, Sir Thomas Lipton organized the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy in Turin in 1909. It is often referred to as the 1st World Championship and features the most prestigious professional clubs from Italy, Germany and Switzerland. The first tournament was won by West Auckland, an amateur team from North East England invited after the FA refused to compete. West Oakland returned in 1911 and successfully defended his title and was awarded a trophy to hold the title permanently under the rules of the tournament.
In 1914, FIFA is responsible for recognizing and hosting the Olympic Games as "Amateur Soccer World Cup". This led to the world's first intercontinental football competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. Uruguay won the competition and again won the gold medal in 1928 and another South American team, Argentina, won the silver medal. In 1928, FIFA decided to host its own international tournament. Now Uruguay is the two-time official world champion in football and was chosen as the host country by FIFA for the celebration of the centenary of independence in 1930.
The 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles had no plans to include football in the program due to the low popularity of football in the United States. Soccer was excluded from the Olympics due to disagreements between FIFA and the IOC over the status of an amateur player. FIFA President Jules Rimet started hosting the first FIFA World Cup in Uruguay in 1930. The national association of the chosen country was invited to send the team, but choosing Uruguay as the venue meant a long and expensive trip across the Atlantic Ocean for a European party. In fact, no European country promised to send a team two months before the start of the competition. In the end, Rime persuaded teams from Belgium, France, Romania and Yugoslavia to go on a tour. A total of 13 countries participated in the competition: 7 countries in South America, 4 countries in Europe, and 2 countries in North America. The
additional tournament, the FIFA Women's World Cup, was first held in 1991. It has a similar format to the men's
