The Football World Cup, or FIFA World Cup, is the biggest football competition in the world, held every four years. Its history begins in 1930, when the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) organized its first tournament in Uruguay. A total of 13 teams participated, with Uruguay emerging as the inaugural champion after beating Argentina. Since then, the World Cup has become a prestigious arena for countries to show their football abilities. In 1934, the tournament took place in Italy, and the number of participants increased to 16 teams. Italy achieved a second consecutive victory in the 1934 and 1938 editions, demonstrating European dominance early in World Cup history. After being interrupted due to World War II, the World Cup was held again in 1950 in Brazil. The 1950 World Cup was famous for its surprise, when Uruguay beat Brazil in the final which took place at Maracanã Stadium. Since then, the World Cup has grown rapidly. In 1954, new technologies and methods of broadcasting television broadcasts came into use, increasing the global popularity of the tournament. From 1966, where England became the first host champion, to the 1998 World Cup which saw the addition of participants to 32 teams, the World Cup continues to present historic matches. The 1970 World Cup in Mexico was a historic moment when Pelé’s goal gave Brazil their third title, securing the Jules Rimet trophy permanently. The women’s World Cup also began, with the first edition held in 1991 in China, where the USA took the title. Since then, the tournament has grown rapidly, reflecting the growth of women’s sport around the world. In 2019, the Women’s World Cup in France attracted global attention with more than 1 million live viewers. In the modern era, the World Cup is now not only a sporting event, but also a platform to convey messages of peace and unity. With the support of advanced technology and multimedia production, each edition brings new innovations, ranging from VAR (Video Assistant Referee) to interactive applications for fans. The success of the World Cup is measured not only in terms of sport, but also by its impact on the host country’s economy and tourism. A non-traditional country like Qatar was chosen to host the 2022 World Cup, indicating a new trend in location selection. In addition, increasing attention to environmental and sustainability issues in tournament management is in the international spotlight. Each edition of the World Cup presents unique stories, beautiful football, and rivalries that are embedded in fans’ memories. From brilliant moments on the field to controversies off the field, this tournament continues to provide an unforgettable experience. The Football World Cup has become a symbol of pride for the country, creating connections between people in all parts of the world. With all the changes and developments, the Football World Cup remains the pinnacle of a sport that inspires millions.
