The FIFA World Cup is an international competition between men's national football teams.
The FIFA World Cup is an international competition between men's national football teams. It is held every four years, with the 19th tournament scheduled to be held in 2022. The first tournament was played in 1930.
The first World Cup was held in Uruguay from 13 July to 30 July 1930, with 16 nations competing for the Jules Rimet Trophy at four venues across the country. Uruguay won the inaugural tournament and eventually retained it in 1950, when Brazil became champions for the first time after defeating Uruguay 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro.
The World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event worldwide.
The World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event worldwide. The final of the last World Cup was watched by over a billion people around the world, and it's also the most watched sporting event on television. It's no surprise then that it's one of the most viewed sporting events on social media as well.
The first tournament was played in 1930 but was not held in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II. Since then it has been played every four years.
The first tournament was played in 1930 but was not held in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II. Since then it has been played every four years. It's a global competition that brings together the best players from across the globe, so if you're looking for an excuse to travel, there you have it! There are 32 teams competing for glory this time around; 13 European teams, 4 African teams, 6 Asian teams (including Australia), 2 South American teams (Colombia and Brazil), 1 North American team (#USA!!!), plus host nation Qatar (yes we get to play too) and 2022 World Cup hosts UAE who are automatically qualified as they won't be hosting until 2026.
The 2018 tournament was held in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018 and was won by France.
The 2018 tournament was held in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018 and was won by France. The opening ceremony of the 2018 World Cup took place on Thursday, 14 June, at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, preceding the opening match of the tournament between hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia.
The final was played at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Sunday, 15 July, with France defeating Croatia 4–2 to win their second World Cup title (they also won in 1998).
The 2022 tournament will be held in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December 2022.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December 2022. Hosted by Qatar, the tournament will be the 22nd FIFA World Cup and the first to be hosted in Asia. It has been announced that the 2022 tournament will take place in winter months, between November 21 and December 18.
According to reports, this decision came as a result of an intense bidding war between England, Belgium/Netherlands (a joint bid), Portugal/Spain (a joint bid), Netherlands/Belgium (another joint bid) and Morocco—with Qatar winning out with its promise of air-conditioned stadiums and hotels. The first major international sporting event ever held in the Middle East since its foundation 50 years ago makes it an exciting prospect for fans around the world. Also worth noting is that this will be only the second time since its inception back in 1930 that a nation outside Europe or South America has hosted football's biggest competition: Brazil staged both 1950 and 2014 editions at their home stadium Maracanã Stadium located within Rio de Janeiro city limits; whereas Japan/Korea co-hosted 2002 edition having split hosting rights across two countries due to political reasons after failing previously under their own banner back then when first awarded three years prior - these details however didn't stop fans still travelling en masse by plane or ship across oceans just like they did back then too!

Australia would love to qualify again
If you're an Aussie, you probably love soccer. And if you're an Aussie who loves soccer, chances are that you also have a soft spot for the Australian national team.
Australia had its best showing at a World Cup in 1974 when they made it to the quarterfinals and lost to West Germany by two goals to nil.
While Australia has never won the competition (they've only made it as far as the Round of 16), they've been close on multiple occasions—in 2006 and 2014—when they came in third place within their group stage.
The next FIFA World Cup will be held in 2022 in Qatar, where 32 teams from around the world will compete for glory over one month from November 21 - December 18th, 2022!
Conclusion
Australia is a country that has many fans around the world. We hope you will be able to follow them in their next big tournament!
