World Cup history

FIFA World Cup

The World Cup's past Before the year 1930 AD, the only international sporting competitions were the Olympic competitions, which included only amateur teams, as well as a few unofficial games and competitions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, such the twice-held Sir Thomas Lipton Cup competition: in 1909 FIFA organized a sizable event in 1911 that featured numerous teams from all over the world as football became more professional and international with time. The inaugural World Cup competition was held in Uruguay in 1930; since then, it has been conducted every four years, and the Jules Rimet Cup trophy has been given to the champion; He is the Frenchman who came up with the idea for the competition, and the cup carried that name until 1970 A.D., when a new cup was introduced and given the name "World Cup" alone.
