Football World Cup champions
The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men’s national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport’s global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War.
The winning team receives the FIFA World Cup trophy, which is 14.2 in (36 cm) high, weighs 13.6 lb (6.175 kg) and is made of solid 18 carat (75%) gold.
