When did the World Cup start

The first 1930 was held in Uruguay.

The World Cup, which takes place every four years, has always attracted hundreds of millions of fans around the world, so how did it come about and develop? In May 1928, in order to meet the needs of the development of modern football, FIFA held a congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the participants unanimously adopted the decision to host the World Cup football tournament. The first FIFA World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930 and has been held every four years since then.

At the FIFA conference held in Luxembourg in 1956, it was proposed to change the name of the "World Football Championship" to the "Remet Cup" in recognition of the outstanding contribution of the former FIFA president and Frenchman Remet to the cause of football. Later, it was proposed to link the two names together and call it the "World Football Championship - Remet Cup". Later, at the meeting of representatives in Helborne, Finland, the name was changed to the "World Football Championship - Remet Cup", or "World Cup" for short, and the name is still used today.

There are two championship trophies in the World Cup, and the first "Golden Goddess Cup" is made of pure gold. The cup weighs kilograms, stands on a marble base, and is 30 centimeters high. It was made by Ferrer, a famous jewelry designer in Paris, France.

He modeled on Nikai, the winged goddess of victory in Greek mythology, and created a woman dressed in ancient Roman costume, with her arms outstretched and holding her cup high. FIFA stipulated that the team that won the World Cup would remain in the Gold Cup until the next tournament. But at the same time, it is stipulated that the country that won the championship three times will always have this gold cup.

In the 1970 World Cup held in Mexico, the Brazilian team won the championship for the third time, so the "Golden Goddess Cup" flew to Brazil and settled forever. Unfortunately, someone later stole the gold cup and melted it down. In 1971, FIFA selected 52 designs for the creation of the new trophy, and the Italian Gazzania was selected for the design.

The trophy he designed was the shape of two strong men holding a globe in both hands. This gold cup is 36 centimeters high, weighs 5 kilograms, and is called the "FIFA World Cup". Trophies are fluid.

Since 1930, the World Cup has been held 15 times, and only six countries have won the championship. They are: Brazil 4 times, Germany 3 times, Italy 3 times, Uruguay 2 times, Argentina 2 times, England 1 time.

The World Cup is held every four years, and any FIFA member state (region) can send a team to register for this event. The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be held from November 21 to December 18, 2022 Beijing time. On June 16, 2022 local time in the United States, the International Football Federation (FIFA) announced that it will jointly host the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, of which the United States has 11 host cities, Mexico has 3, and Canada has 2, which will be the first World Cup jointly hosted by three hosts in history.

From the 2026 World Cup, the finals will be expanded to 48 teams. The World Cup schedule is divided into two stages: the qualifying stage and the final stageThe World Cup qualifying stage is divided into six major regions, namely Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, North America and Oceania. The number of places in the final stage of the World Cup is 32, and the host country in the final stage can directly obtain the quota in the final stage, except for the host country, the other places are allocated by FIFA according to the football level of each qualifying region, and different qualifying regions will have different numbers of final stage places.

Since the third World Cup in 1938, it was stipulated that the defending champion and the host country could advance directly, but in 2002, because the defending champion France performed too poorly in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, FIFA stipulated that from the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, the defending champion needs to participate in the World Cup qualifiers in his region, so that only the host country can qualify for the finals, and the South African World Cup host failed to qualify from the group, but FIFA did not cancel the host country's direct qualification. The host country of the World Cup finals must be a FIFA member state (region), and the member state (region) needs to apply to FIFA (two members can jointly apply to host it), and then the vote of all FIFA member countries (region) will be selected.
