History of the FIFA World Cup\n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nNo other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige.\n\nA group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition. \n\nWhen it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition. \n\nSince 1930, the 16 tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA World Cup has also been punctuated by dramatic upsets that have helped create footballing history - the United States defeating England in 1950, North Korea's defeat of Italy in 1966, Cameroon's emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the Argentinean cup-holders in 1990.... \n\nToday, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated audience of over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadium. \n\nAfter all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup remains the same - the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's ambition. \n\nWorld Cup Summaries\n \nYear Champion Runner-Up Result 3rd Place Host \n1930 Uruguay Argentina 4-2 United States Uruguay \n1934 Italy Czechoslovakia 2-1 (ot) Germany Italy \n1938 Italy Hungary 4-2 Brazil France \n1950 Uruguay Brazil 2-1 Sweden Brazil \n1954 West Germany Hungary 3-2 Austria Switzerland \n1958 Brazil Sweden 5-2 France Sweden \n1962 Brazil Czechoslovakia 3-1 Chile Chile \n1966 England West Germany 4-2 (ot) Portugal England \n1970 Brazil Italy 4-1 West Germany Mexico \n1974 West Germany Holland 2-1 Poland West Germany \n1978 Argentina Holland 3-1 (ot) Brazil Argentina \n1982 Italy West Germany 3-1 Poland Spain \n1986 Argentina West Germany 3-2 France Mexico \n1990 West Germany Argentina 1-0 Italy Italy \n1994 Brazil Italy 0-0 (3:2 pk) Sweden United States \n1998 France Brazil 3-0 Croatia France \n2002 Brazil Germany 2-0 Turkey Korea / Japan \n2006 - - - - Germany \n \n \n\nTeam Records\nBrazil holds the most World Cup championships with five and Italy and West Germany/Germany are tied with three World Cup titles.
