The World Cup is an international competition featuring the best men's soccer teams from around the globe. It is held every four years and organized by FIFA, the governing body of international soccer. The first ever World Cup tournament was held in 1930 in Uruguay, with just 13 teams competing. Since then, the tournament has grown and now features 32 teams, divided into 8 groups of four teams. The teams play a round-robin tournament and the top two teams of each group advance to the knockout stage, in which they must win each match in order to advance until just two teams remain for the final match. The winning team, which is crowned World Champions, is presented with the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
