FIFA World cup


It is an international Football(soccer) cup played by men's national teams that are members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. It happens every 4 years in different parts of the world. This year South Africa was awarded as the host country for the cup. 32 team are going to play for around a month this summer. These teams had to play a qualification phase against countries in the same area ,and the best in the area are the ones that go to the world cup. The world cup started in 1930 in Uruguay as a small tournament and is now is by far the most viewed sporting event in the world. In my next post I am going to explain how countries qualify to this event.
