Background & Interesting Facts of FIFA World Cup Tournament
There can be many speculations and backing references regarding the first-ever football match, and which countries are considered the homes of football team sports. However, there can’t be any denying that the first ever FIFA World Cup was played in Uruguay in 1930 with the participation of thirteen international teams.
Several teams backed off from participating during that time due to travel issues and other reasons. But the event was a success and the home team Uruguay became the first-ever FIFA World Cup champion beating Argentina. From then till now, this mega event has been known as one of the most highlighted sports events in the world.
- World famous soccer team Brazil was first crowned as champion in 1958 and now holds the record of five-time champions in the history of FIFA (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002).
- Four-time world champion Italy couldn’t qualify for this year’s FIFA World Cup. In the past, the team successfully secured the title in 1934, 1938, 1982, and 2006. Moreover, in 1970 and 1994, Italy was runner-up in the finals.
- Germany is one of the most successful teams and has held the title four times (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014)
- Except for Spain and Brazil, six champion teams have won the title on their home grounds. Including Uruguay (1930), Italy (1934), England (1966), Germany (1974), Argentina (1978), and France (1998)
- Mexico, Germany, France, and Italy have hosted FIFA 2 times. In 2026 Mexico will be the first country to host for the 3rd time.
- Just Fontaine representing France holds the record for 13 goals in a FIFA tournament in 1958 Italy
-  Brazil’s all-time great footballer Pelé holds the record for the youngest player who played FIFA at the age of 17 in 1958.
- Lionel Messi and Wesley Sneijder share the record of the most man-of-the-match awards in the single FIFA World Cup.
- Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben, and Lionel Messi hold the record of 6 man-of-the-match awards overall in FIFA worlds cups till 2018
- Netherlands is the only team who has been a finalist three times (1974, 1978, and 2010), but, unfortunately, never won the title.

Great players like Luis Suárez, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo might be playing their last FIFA. So, this chance to watch these legendary players for the last time should not be missed. The next FIFA will be organized after four long years in Canada, Mexico
United States in 2026. However, if you also have excitement and anticipation of this noted cup, then share your thoughts on who will be the winner of FIFA World Cup 2022 in the comments section below.
