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 (Fйdйration
Internationale de Football Association) 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, before the Second World War put a
12-year stop to the competition.

When it resumed, the FIFA
World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the
greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since
1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup
broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in
May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002
edition.
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 France 98 tournament,
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.
After all these years
and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World
Cup remains the same - the glistening golden trophy, which is
the embodiment of every footballer's ambition.
