== World Cup 1930-2022 ==
The most important trophy in the world of football, instigated by then
FIFA president Jules Rimet in the late twenties in the wake of the
great success of the football tournaments at the Olympics in Paris (1924)
and Amsterdam (1928), both won by Uruguay. Until 1978, 16 teams were
admitted to the final tournament (in 1930 and 1950 this number of
participants was not reached however), from 1982 up to the 1994 finals,
24 countries earned the right to play there, while from 1998 onwards 32
are represented.
The original trophy, the Coupe Jules Rimet, was won outright by Brazil
after their third win in 1970. It has since been stolen there and never
found.
The name of the current trophy is FIFA World Cup. Argentina and (West)
Germany have won it three times, Brazil, France and Italy all twice,
and Spain once.

[NB: for 1930 and 1950, runners-up in the first round groups have been
counted as quarterfinalists; in 1982 runners-up in the second
group stage were also included; for 1950 that implies Bolivia
are counted as quarterfinalists in spite of losing their only
match 0-8; see the ‹World Cup all-time rankings, see page 3002f§22tt› for an alternative
count (not including quarterfinalists for 1930, 1950 and 1982).]
