The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. However, the event is often ongoing, as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds. Since 1991, FIFA has also held the Women's World Cup on a similar four-year schedule. The tournament's final phase, which is often called the World Cup Finals involves thirty-two national teams competing at several venues within the host nation or nations over a period of about a month. It is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with 1.1 billion people watching the 2002 tournament final. In eighteen tournaments held, only seven nations have won. Brazil is the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times. The current Cup holder, Italy, follows with four titles, while Ger- many holds three. The other former champions are Uruguay and Argentina with two titles each, and England and France with one title each. Only two teams from outside these two continents, Europe and South America, have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: the USA in 1930 and South Korea in 2002. The most recent football World Cup Finals were held between June 9 and July 9, 2006 in Germany, where Italy were crowned champions after beating France 5-3 in a penalty shoot-out. 31.
