📜 World Cup History

From Uruguay 1930 to USA/Canada/Mexico 2026 · 92 years of the world's greatest tournament

🌟 2026: The Biggest World Cup Ever

The 2026 FIFA World Cup makes history as the first tournament with 48 nations, three co-hosts (USA, Canada, Mexico), and 104 matches — the most ever. 16 venues across North America will host the tournament from June 11 to July 19, 2026.

Argentina enter as defending champions after their 2022 triumph in Qatar, while Brazil (5 titles) remain the most decorated nation in World Cup history. Europe's powerhouses — France, Germany, Spain, England, and Portugal — all arrive with realistic title ambitions.
