Popular Article: World Cup
The World Cup, sometimes called the FIFA World Cup, is an international soccer competition contested by the men's national soccer teams of the member nations of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's world governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first event in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. To determine the participating teams, qualifying rounds take place over the three years preceding the Finals. Thirty-two national teams then compete at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month.
