The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed single sporting event in the world. The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy, with four titles each Argentina, France, and inaugural winner Uruguay, with two titles each and England and Spain, with one title each. Brazil have won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The 21 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight national teams. In the tournament phase, 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over about a month. The current format involves a qualification phase, which takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase.
The current champion is France, which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia.
The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 19 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA), the sport's global governing body.
