World Cup

The FIFA World Cup (often called the Football World Cup, Soccer World
Cup or simply the World Cup) is the most important men's competition in
international football. The world's most representative team sport event, the
World Cup is contested by the men's national football teams of Federation
International of Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's largest governing body)
member nations. The championship has been awarded every four years since the
first tournament in 1930 (except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II).
However, it is more of an ongoing event as the qualifying rounds of the
competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds. In 1991,
FIFA added a separate Women's World Cup.
The men's final tournament phase (often called the "Finals") involves 32
national teams competing over a four-week period in a previously nominated host
nation, with these games making it the most widely-viewed sporting event in the
world. In the 17 tournaments held, only seven nations have ever won the World Cup
Finals. Brazil won the previous World cup, and it is the most successful World Cup
team, having won the tournament five times, while Italy follows with four titles
and Germany with three. Italy is the current holder, as they won in Germany 2006
to France in the Final.
