The world's biggest football fiesta!
Four years of anticipation culminates in this epic global showdown. Nations battle it out on the pitch, uniting billions in a shared passion for the beautiful game.
Did you know?
The first ever World Cup trophy, the Jules Rimet Trophy, was found by a dog named Pickles in England in 1966 after being stolen.
They all fight for my golden artefact.
Only eight ever claimed victory.
The hand of God is believed to have been seen here.
Jules Rimet once hid the prize in a shoebox under his bed to prevent theft.
Teams battle it out every four years for the ultimate global bragging rights in this sport.
