FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup serves as an international football tournament contested by the senior men’s national teams representing the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), which governs the sport globally. Staged quadrennially since its introduction in 1930, the competition has only faced interruptions in 1942 and 1946 as a consequence of World War II. Entering the 2026 tournament, Argentina holds the title of reigning champions, having secured their third star by overcoming France in the 2022 final.
