World Cup History
World Cup Soccer is an international association football competition participated by the men’s national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association or FIFA, the sport’s global governing body.
The world’s first international football competition was a challenge match held in Glasgow year 1872. It was a match between Scotland and England. At that stage the sport was rarely played outside the United Kingdom, but it grew in popularity in other parts of the world at the turn of the century. It was held as a demo sport with no awards at 1990. However, in 1904 Summer Olympics the IOC has upgraded the status to official event.
