The championship haes been awairdit every fower year syne the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 an 1946 when it wis nae held acause o the Seicont Warld War. The current champions are France, who wan the 2018 tournament in Russia.
The current format o the competeetion involves a qualification phase, that currently taks place ower the precedin three year, tae determine that teams qualifee for the toornament phase, that is eften cried the Warld Cup Feenals. Efter this, 32 teams, includin the automatically qualifeein host naition(s), compete in the toornament phase for the teetle at venues within the host naition(s) ower a period o aboot a month.
The 20 Warld Cup toornaments hae been wan bi aicht naitional teams. Brazil hae wan five times, an thay are the anerly team tae hae played in ivery toornament. The ither Warld Cup winners are Germany an Italy, wi fower teetles ilk; Argentinae an inaugural winner Uruguay, wi twa teetles ilk; an Ingland, Fraunce, an Spain, wi ane teetle ilk.
The Warld Cup is the maist prestigious association fitbaw toornament in the warld, as weel as the maist widely viewed an follaed sportin event in the warld, exceedin even the Olympic Gemmes; the cumulative audience o aw matches o the 2006 Warld Cup wis estimatit te be 26.29 billion wi an estimatit 715.1 million fowk watchin the feenal match, a nint o the entire population o the planet.
17 kintras hae hostit the Warld Cup. Brazil, Fraunce, Italy, Germany an Mexico hae ilk hostit twice, while Uruguay, Swisserland, Swaden, Chile, Ingland, Argentinae, Spain, the Unitit States, Japan an Sooth Korea (jyntly), Sooth Africae an Roushie hae ilk hostit ance. Qatar are planned as hosts o the 2022 feenals, an 2026 will be a jynt hostit feenals atween Canadae, the Unitit States an Mexico, that will gie Mexico the distinction o bein the first kintra tae hae hostit gemmes in three different feenals.
Previous internaitional competeetions
The warld's first internaitional fitbaw spiel wis a challenge spiel played in Glesga in 1872 atween Scotland an Ingland, that endit in a 0–0 draw. The first internaitional toornament, the inaugural edeetion o the Breetish Hame Championship, teuk place in 1884.
In 1914, FIFA greed tae recognise the Olympic toornament as a "warld fitbaw championship for amateurs", an teuk responsibility for managin the event. This paved the wey for the warld's first intercontinental fitbaw competeetion, at the 1920 Simmer Olympics, contestit bi Egyp an 13 European teams, an wan bi Belgium. Uruguay wan the next twa Olympic fitbaw toornaments in 1924 an 1928. Thae war an aw the first twa appen warld championships, as 1924 wis the stairt o FIFA's perfaisional era.
World Cups afore World War II
Due tae the success o the Olympic fitbaw toornaments, FIFA, wi Preses Jules Rimet as the drivin force, again stairtit leukin at stagin its awn internaitional toornament ootside o the Olympics. On 28 Mey 1928, the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam decidit tae stage a warld championship itsel. Wi Uruguay nou twa-time offeecial fitbaw warld champions an tae celebrate thair centenary o unthirldom in 1930, FIFA named Uruguay as the host kintra o the inaugural Warld Cup toornament.
The naitional associations o selectit naitions war invitit tae send a team, but the chyce o Uruguay as a venue for the competeetion meant a lang an costly trip athort the Atlantic Ocean for European sides. Indeed, na European kintra pledged tae send a team till twa month afore the stairt o the competeetion. Rimet eventually persuaded teams frae Belgium, Fraunce, Romanie, an Yugoslavie tae mak the trip. In tot, 13 naitions teuk pairt: seiven frae Sooth Americae, fower frae Europe an twa frae North Americae.
The first twa Warld Cup spiels teuk place simultaneously on 13 Julie 1930, an war wan bi Fraunce an the USA, that defeatit Mexico 4–1 an Belgium 3–0 respectively. The first goal in Warld Cup history wis scored bi Lucien Laurent o Fraunce. In the feenal, Uruguay defeatit Argentinae 4–2 in front o a croud o 93,000 fowk in Montevideo, an in daein sae becam the first naition tae win the Warld Cup.
The issues facin the early Warld Cup toornaments war the difficulties o intercontinental traivel, an war. Few Sooth American teams war willin tae traivel tae Europe for the 1934 Warld Cup an aw North an Sooth American naitions except Brazil an Cuba boycottit the 1938 toornament. Brazil wis the anerly Sooth American team tae compete in baith. The 1942 an 1946 competeetions, that Germany an Brazil socht tae host, war cancelled due tae Warld War II an its eftermath.
World Cups efter World War II
The 1950 World Cup, held in Brazil, wis the first tae include Breetish pairteecipants. Breetish teams widrew frae FIFA in 1920, pairtly oot o unwillinness tae play against the kintras thay haed been at war wi, an pairtly as a protest against foreign influence on fitbaw, but rejynt in 1946 follaein FIFA's invitation. The toornament am aw saw the return o 1930 champions Uruguay, that haed boycottit the previous twa Warld Cups. Uruguay wan the toornament again efter defeatin the host naition Brazil, in the match cried "Maracanazo" (Portuguese: Maracanaço).
Expansion tae 32 teams
The toornament wis expandit tae 24 teams in 1982, an then tae 32 in 1998, an aw allouin mair teams frae Africae, Asie an North Americae tae tak pairt. Syne then, teams frae thir regions hae enjoyed mair success, wi several haein reached the quarter-feenals: Mexico, quarter-feenalists in 1986; Cameroon, quarter-feenalists in 1990; Sooth Korea, feenishin in fowert place in 2002; Senegal, alang wi USA, baith quarter-feenalists in 2002; Ghana, quarter-feenalists in 2010; an Costa Rica, quarter-feenalists in 2014. Nivertheless, European an Sooth American teams conteena tae dominate, e.g., the quarter-feenalists in 1994, 1998, an 2006 war aw frae Europe or Sooth Americae an sae war the feenalists o aw toornaments sae faur. FIFA plans on expandin tae 48 teams bi the next Cup.
