About FIFA World Cup

Founded in 1930, the FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious international tournament in the world and includes nations from every continent. It takes place every four years with a different venue from the previous host nation four years prior. Apart from the hosts, countries qualify for the summer tournament via regional qualification groups and play-offs from Africa, Asia, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America, Oceania, and Europe. The qualified teams make it to the tournament proper where they compete in a group stage followed by knockout rounds until the final, which is considered the biggest game in world football. Seventy-nine different countries have competed since its inception, with Brazil winning the most titles (5). The competition’s all-time leading goalscorer is Miroslav Klose (16).
