The FIFA World Cup, often simply 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 current champions are
Spain, who won the 2010 tournament.The current format of the tournament involves 32 teams competing for the title
at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month – this phase is often called the World Cup
Finals. A qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, is used to determine
which teams qualify for the tournament together with the host nation(s)
