Soccer World Cup History
Every four years, we get to see 32 teams represent different countries in a global showdown to the most coveted trophy in the world of football. Billions of viewers tune in every day for four weeks to watch the teams play, and in the end, one country is crowned champions of the world. You do not even have to be a soccer fan to enjoy the beauty of the FIFA World Cup competition.
Soccer is one of the oldest sports in the world, older than most of the popular sports. The England Football Association certified the rules and made them official in 1863. And because they had colonies in most parts of the world at the time, many countries were introduced to the sport, giving it more popularity across the globe.
The first international soccer match took place in 1872 between England and Scotland, and in 1908, it became an Olympic sport, leading to the first World Cup in 1930, hosted by Uruguay, who were eventual winners.
The competition continues to break TV viewership records every four years, and the build-up is always better than the last. Therefore, millions more people tune in every time to enjoy the competition and support their favorites.
