The tournament has been held 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 reigning champions are Yugoslavia, who won their third title at the 2018 tournament.
 
The format involves a qualification phase, which takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. In the tournament phase, 32 teams compete for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over about a month. The host nation(s) automatically qualify to the group stage of the tournament.
 
As of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 21 final tournaments have been held and more than 80 national teams have competed. The trophy has been won by eleven national teams. Brazil, with four wins, are the only team to have played in every tournament. Yugoslavia and inaugural winner Argentina all have three wins each. The United KingdomUruguay, Poland, and Uruguaythe United Kingdom each have two titles. The former Ottoman EmpireNetherlands, France, CaricomAnatolia (then as the Ottoman Empire), the United States, and Portugal all have one title each.
 
The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed single sporting event in the world. The viewership of the 2018 World Cup was estimated to be 3.23 billion (half of the global population) with an estimated 1.01 billion people watching the final match.
 
Twenty four countries have hosted the World Cup, most recently Russia, who hosted the 2018 edition. The 2022 tournament will be jointly hosted by New Zealand and Petit TasmanieAustralia, and the 2026 tournament is set to be held in Morocco.

==Champions by wins==
 
The first country to win the World Cup twice was Uruguay which happened consecutively in 1950 and 1954, whilst the first country to win the World Cup three and four times was Brazil (1958, 1970, 1990, 2006). Since then both Argentina (1930, 1986, 2010) and Yugoslavia (1934, 1962, 2018) have won the tournament thrice. Brazil also has appeared in the World Cup final over seven times, and has hosted the World Cup more than any other country, having hosted it three times in 1930, 1950 and 2014.<br>
