To Enjoy FIFA WORLD CUP: You have to know some facts

Posted by jodhpurtaxi2 on June 26th, 2018

The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase, which is often called the World Cup Finals. 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month.

The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world.

 The tournament was expanded to 24 teams and now it is 32. European and South American teams continue to dominate, e.g., the quarter-finalists in 1994, 1998, and 2006 were all from Europe or South America and so were the finalists of all tournaments so far.

FIFA also organizes international tournaments for youth football.
