A
Little Bit of History of FIFA
The football World Cup
is organised by FIFA. The World Cup is
called 'Jules Rimet Cup' named after the name of FIFA president from 1921-1953.
The first international game was played in 1872; Scotland hosted England. The
game, which tied 0-0, was watched by 4,000 people. Uruguay hosted the first
World Cup games in 1930 and became the first nation to win a World Cup,
defeating Argentina 4-2. The games are played every four years and have
continued to grow in popularity. The 2006 World Cup final was watched by more
than 700 million people — the world's most widely-viewed sporting event. Because
of World War II, there were no World Cup games in 1942 and 1946. Brazil leads
the world in World Cup wins, having taken the cup home five times.
