History of the FIFA WORLD CUP

No other sporting event captures the world’s imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930. FIFA’s flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige. A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world’s strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet’s name and was contested three times in the 1930s, the competition has stopped for 12 years between 1938-50 due to the Second World War.Since 1930, the 16 tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA World Cup has also been punctuated by dramatic upsets that have helped create footballing history-the United states defeating England in 1950, North Korea’s defeat of Italy in 1966, Cameroon’s emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the Argentinean cup-holders in 1990….Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated audience of over 37 billion people watched the Franch 98 tournaments, including approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadium.
