The origins of the first international men’s football tournament are found in the year 1930. It was possible due to the able management of FIFA, which is the world’s football governing body. With time, this tournament grew in stature and came to be known as the FIFA World Cup as it is today.
FIFAs are one of the most awaited football tournaments occurring every four years with a two-year qualifying process. FIFA started with only thirteen teams in 1930. Around 200 teams have competed to reach the 32-team final tournament.
