History

“No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup”. Ever since the first worldcup competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) has constantly grown.

During the 1920’s, creative French football administrators, led by Jules Rimet, are credited with the unique notion of bringing the world's strongest national soccer teams together to compete for the title of World Champions.
