The origin of FIFA World Cup
Dear crew mate Firouz,
How
are you today? Do you have fun at school? Do you enjoy your Miss Leah dinner?
Papa is in Qatar doing my job as a live reporter for World Cup 2022. It is my
great honor, Firouz.
I
miss you much as your excitement in discovering the world, crew mate. I miss
your hug in the morning, your smile after you get home from school, and our
enjoyment in the series Firouz's Bedtime Stories every night.
Miss
Leah will read this message as an episode of our bedtime stories. Papa Joey
would like to introduce you to World
Cup, the origin of the FIFA World Cup.
Football
is the King of Sports in the world. Before the World Cup was
inaugurated, FIFA gave the football tournament arranged as part of the Summer
Olympics the most prestige. But in the 1920s, the game faced a transition to
professionalism that was not consistent with the Olympic spirit. Therefore,
FIFA, as the sport's global governing body, made plans to organize a World Cup.
The first official World Cup was played in Uruguay in 1930, and since then, the
tournament has been held every fourth year. The World Cup has experienced
successive expansions and format remodeling, with its current 32-team final
match preceded by a two-year qualifying process involving over 200 teams
worldwide.
The beginnings of the World Cup
The first official international football match was
played in 1872 between Scotland and England in Glasgow, although at this stage,
people rarely played the sport outside Great Britain. As football increased in
popularity in the world at the start of the 20th century, the football game was
held as a demonstration sport at the 1900 and 1904 Summer Olympics with no
medals awarded.
At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, football became
an official competition.
In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognize the Olympic
tournament as a "world football championship for amateurs" and took
responsibility for managing the event.
In 1920 Summer Olympics was contested by Egypt and 13
European teams and won by Belgium. Uruguay won the next two Olympic football
tournaments in 1924 and 1928.
In 1924, the start of FIFA's professional era was
begun.
The tournament was operated as a game in Summer
Olympics until 1928. Jules Rimet, FIFA's longest-serving president, wanted to
create an international competition between men's football teams independently.
In 1930, FIFA decided to stage its international
tournament, and Uruguay was named the host country.
My
boy, it is how FIFA World Cup was created. It's almost 100 years of football
history. The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament
in the world and the most widely viewed and followed single sporting event in
the world. People worldwide look forward to joining the heat of the sports'
King love every fourth year.
Then, Papa Joey will tell you some interesting facts about FIFA World Cup 2022.
1. Qatar is the first Middle Eastern country to host
the World Cup.
2. FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is the winter carnival
for the first time ever.
3. Iceland is the smallest country to qualify for the
World Cup in the 2018 edition.
4. There are only eight teams in the world who have
ever lifted the world cup. Brazil has won five times, while Germany and Italy
have four titles each. Argentina, France, and Uruguay have won the World Cup
twice, while England and Spain have each won once.
5. Lionel Messi confirms Qatar will be his last World
Cup.
The
global sport of football is the most popular on the planet, and the World Cup
is the crown jewel. Papa
Joey hopes my Firouz will enjoy the information about FIFA World Cup.
Papa
will be back on December 3rd. Papa misses you much, Firouz!
Good
night,
XOXO
Joey.
