BACKGROUND OF FIFA WORLD CUP
The history of the FIFA World Cup can be dated back to 1930 when the first World
Cup was held in Uruguay and only 13 teams participated in it. This was the
beginning of what would grow to become the biggest sporting series in the world,
starting from the initial 13 teams in 1930 to 32 teams in 1998. Only the countries
like Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and France have emerged as common World Cup
giants through the years.
There are, however, many great footballers who have made their mark in the World
Cup. Brazil won three World Cup titles, and Zinedine Zidane was an important part
of France’s 1998 and 2006 teams, and the recent most awaited clash-between
Argentina vs France was no less then epic story that will be named penned down in
the history of Lionel Messi’s career . These players’ performance and personalities
have captured the adoration of fans from all over the world and will be part of the
tournament’s history. The following are some of the emerging stars who have
graced the World Cup: Aurelien Tchouameni (France), Enzo Fernandez (Argentina)
and Kylian Mbappe (France).
EFFECTS OF FIFA WORLD CUP
The World Cup is not about football only; it is a way of expressing nationality, unity,
and culture. When a country’s team gets into the competition, the entire population
of that country picks up the sticks and supports the team. It does that, it makes
people to put their differences aside and celebrate the unity of the nation through
football. Football is not just another sport in the lives of Brazilians and Argentinians,
it is a part of their blood and the World Cup is a perfect chance to show it.

The World Cup is not just a sports tournament, it is a cultural event, a traditional
event, and a manifestation of what it means to be human. Every host nation brings
something different to the party, from music to festivals to food. This cultural
exchange makes the extra layer of the tournament as fans get to learn about new
practices and traditions. The World Cup is a celebration of oneness as people from
different origins come together for one product: football.
The event has also provided a platform for the advancement of various social
causes. The players have taken the platform to fight for causes such as racism,
equality, and climate change. Such actions show the great potential of sport and
how the World Cup can be a voice for change not only in football.
THE EXPECTED FUTURE
The World Cup of the future is changing. The 2026 tournament will include 48
teams, so more countries will have a chance to join in. The use of technology,
including the video assistant referees (VAR), will remain current and will be part of
the competition to reduce frustration and increase accuracy in the game. It is
anticipated that social responsibility and sustainability will be discussed more than
before, thus making the event more accessible and environmentally friendly.
