No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige
A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Championship The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest
single sporting event of the modern world Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition
Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell An accumulated audience of over 3.7 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadia
