Fifa is the world controlling body for football. Every four years, this body organises world cup competition - to be played by 32 countries. Each continent has a quota of countries that could particpate at the world cup. The 32 had to play qualifying continental games, e.g. Europeans countries compete against each other for places in the world cup. The country that wins the cup is highly respected in world football. Brazil has won it more than any other country - 5 times.
Administratively, countries are givena chance to host the world cup - which is the biggest single sports event of the world in terms of specators - through a bidding process. The last world cup was in Germany and was won by Italy. The next world cup is in South Africat. The first African country to host
the cup since its inception in 1930 in South America - Uruguay.
It is estimated that during the four weeks of the event, more than a million people visit the host country.
