II. While-reading:
World Cup, the international football tournament, is held every four years. It
is considered the most popular sporting event in the world. The World Cup is
followed with passionate interest around the globe-the final game of the 2002
World Cup tournament attracted more than one billion viewers.
In 1904, FIFA , the governing body for football, was set up. At its first
meeting, FIFA planned to organize a world championship. But it was not until
1930 that the first World Cup was held. Only 13 teams took part in the first
tournament. The host nation, Uruguay, gained a victory over Argentina in the
final and became the first champion in the history of the World Cup. By 2002,
the world had witnessed 17 World Cup tournaments. National football teams
must now compete in elimination games within their own regions before
becoming one of the 32 finalists. The 2002 World Cup final was jointly held
by Japan and South Korea. It was the first time the World Cup was played in
Asia and the first time it was hosted by two nations. With the victory over
Germany in the final match, Brazil became the first team to win the trophy
five times. Although Europe and South America are the only continents to
have produced World Cup champions, countries on other continents hope that
one day they will win the honoured title.
