No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since<br />
the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in<br />
popularity and prestige.<br />
A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules<br />
Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's stron gest national football teams<br />
together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's<br />
name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop<br />
to the competition:<br />
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the<br />
greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the<br />

to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition.<br />
Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated<br />
audience of over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately 1.3<br />
billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the<br />
French stadia.<br />
