History of the World Cup

The FIFA World Cup is the world’s most popular sporting event, with an estimated global television audience of over 3.5 billion people for the 2018 tournament. The tournament is held every four years and is contested by the men’s national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The first World Cup was held in 1930 in Uruguay, and the most recent tournament was held in Russia in 2018.

The World Cup has a long and storied history, and it has been witness to some of the most iconic moments in sporting history. The 1950 World Cup final, in which Uruguay defeated Brazil 2-1 in front of a crowd of over 200,000 people at the Maracan Stadium, is considered to be one of the greatest sporting upsets of all time. The 1966 World Cup final, in which England defeated West Germany 4-2 after extra time, is also considered to be one of the most memorable World Cup finals.

The World Cup has also been a platform for political and social change.
