The FIFA World Cup is played every four (4) years. Currently, the tournament has thirty two (32) participating countries in the competition, but it was not always so.\n\nThe first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930 had thirteen (13) teams. The number of teams per tournament has varied, but went to thirty two (32) teams for the 1998 World Cup held in France, and remains that many today.\n\nThe World Cup is held in a different country each time, although several countries have held the tournament multiple times, just not in back-to-back competitions.

32 countries have played in the cup since France 98.  Stadiums vary, but in this one the average is between 40-50 thousand I would say.  Brazil was the pre-tournament favorite, but France knocked them out in the quarterfinals.  No, it is not the 80th world cup, the FIFA World Cup began in 1930, and is held every 4 years, and was not held between 38 and 50 due to WWII.  So there was a tournament in 30, 34, 38, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70, 74, 78, 82, 86, 90, 94, 98, 02, and now in 06.  So this cup is the 18th.  Regardless of who wins this tournament (because both are previous winners), only seven countries have won the world cup.  Uruguay in 30, Italy in 34, Italy in 38, Uruguay in 50, West Germany in 54, Brazil in 58, Brazil in 62, England in 66, Brazil in 70, West Germany in 74, Argentina in 78, Italy in 82, Argentina in 86, Germany in 90, Brazil in 94, France in 98, Brazil in 02, and either Italy/France in 06.

waiting 4 entire years for each world cup is what makes the world cup so great...so important, and so huge\n\nany shorter of a time in between world cups would make it mean less, and being the world cup champion wouldn't mean as much
