Blog post: FIFA world cup

World cup is soccer competition. Every 4 years open this competition. It’s open in summer and during 1 month to play. 32 teams start match in final. And lots of countries participate in preliminary round. So nowadays, lots of world cup in the world, beach soccer world cup, U 17, U 20 World cup, futsal World cup. Also we have practice world cup. It’s named Confederations cup. It participates only few teams, and they get chance to practice before world cup.
First world cup was held in Uruguay, in 1930. But that time, Uruguay was so far because transportation was poor. So very few team enter that competition. Also they stop twice because of world war. In 1998, 32 teams play in final. Brazil won 5 times in world cup, and Italy 4 times won in world cup.
How many teams playing in world cup
In preliminary round Europe= 53 Africa= 55 Asia= 46 Oceania= 13 North America= 40 South America=10

In final round Europe=13 Africa= 5 Asia= 4.5 Oceania= 0.5 North America=3.5 South America= 4.5 like that, lots of countries playing, also this number is still increasing. And host country doesn’t need to do in preliminary round. 2014 world cup held in Brazil, so Brazil doesn’t need to do preliminary round. Host country is always Europe- non Europe- Europe- Non Europe like that, but this time, this rule is broken. But in 2022 will Qatar, so another Asia countries need lots of time, if they want to held the world cup. But I hope Korea held World cup again.
