seventeen countries have been FIFA World Cup hosts in the contest ‘s twenty-one tournaments since the inaugural World Cup in 1930. The administration at first gear awarded host to countries at meetings of FIFA ‘s sexual intercourse. The choice of localization was controversial in the earliest tournaments, given the three-week gravy boat journey between South America and Europe, the two centers of forte in football at the time. The decision to hold the first cup in Uruguay, for case, led to merely four european nations competing. [ 1 ] The future two World Cups were both held in Europe. The decisiveness to hold the moment of these, the 1938 FIFA World Cup, in France was controversial, as the south american countries had been led to understand that the World Cup would rotate between the two continents. Both Argentina and Uruguay therefore boycotted the tournament. [ 2 ] The first tournament following World War II, held in Brazil in 1950, had three teams withdraw for either fiscal problems or disagreements with the administration. [ 3 ] In order to avoid any future boycott or controversy, FIFA began a practice of alternation between the Americas and Europe, which continued until the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Asia. The arrangement evolved thus that the horde country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA ‘s Congress. This is done under an exhaustive vote arrangement. The decision is presently made roughly seven years in promote of the tournament, though the hosts for the 2022 tournament were chosen at the lapp time as those for the 2018 tournament. only Mexico, Italy, France, Germany ( West Germany until concisely after the 1990 World Cup ) and Brazil have hosted the event on two occasions. Mexico City ‘s Estadio Azteca and Rio de Janeiro ‘s Maracanã are the only venues ever to have hosted two FIFA World Cup finals. only the 2002 FIFA World Cup had more than one host, being burst between Japan and South Korea, and in the 2026 there will be three hosts, the United States, Canada, and Mexico. uruguay in 1930, Italy in 1934, England in 1966, West Germany in 1974, Argentina in 1978 and France in 1998 are the countries which organized an edition of the World Cup and won it. Upon the selection of Canada–Mexico–United States bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the tournament will be the first to be hosted by more than two countries. Mexico becomes the beginning area to host three men ‘s World Cups and its Estadio Azteca, should it be selected, will become the first stadium to stage three World Cup tournaments .

Host nation performances [edit ]

Except in 1934, when Italy had to qualify for the chief tournament, host nations have always been granted automatic spots in the World Cup ( it is so far to be confirmed as to whether this will be the font in 2026 ). It is widely considered that base advantage is common in the World Cup, with the host team normally performing above average. [ 104 ] In 13 of the 21 tournaments a host nation has reached the last 4. Of the 8 teams that have won the tournament, all except Brazil and Spain have been champions while hosting, with England winning its merely title as hosts. Further, Sweden got to its only final on home soil. [ 105 ] Chile and South Korea had their entirely semi-final finishes at home plate, and Mexico ( doubly ) and an autonomous Russia achieved their entirely finishes in the top eight while hosting. South Africa is the entirely master of ceremonies to not go past the beginning polish. [ 106 ]
