So before plunging into memorizing the names of the teams, most valuable players, or the colors of their sportswear uniforms, it is good that you know first hand the basic facts about the FIFA World Cup and its origin.
Wikepedia scores that FIFA started in 1930 and just like the Olympics, the cchampionship is awarded every four years. The years 1942 and 1946 were the only years when there was no championship played because of the World War 2.
