Well, in our previous post, we discussed about the UEFA League and how to qualify and all, so following a similar route, with the upcoming FIFA World Cup approaching in 2026, let’s get to know about how brutal it is to represent your nation in the World Cup. Here’s the History of FIFA World Cup How to Enter and More.
As always, like I said in any of my previous posts, my first FIFA World Cup was 2022, in which Messi won (maybe I’m the lucky charm).

The FIFA World Cup is more than just a tournament—it’s a global obsession. Every four years, the world stops to watch nations clash on the biggest stage in football. Behind the goals and glory lie decades of history, drama, rivalries, and record-breaking achievements.
History of the FIFA
The first World Cup took place in 1930, hosted and won by Uruguay. What started with just 13 teams has grown into a global festival with 48 nations competing starting in 2026.
Key moments over the decades:
1954: West Germany beats Hungary’s “Golden Team” in a shocking final known as the Miracle of Bern.
1970: Brazil’s team, led by Pelé, is widely considered the best.
1986: Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” and “Goal of the Century” in one match vs. England.
1998: France wins at home, led by Zinedine Zidane.
2014: Germany crushes Brazil 7–1 in the semi-final—one of the most surreal games in history.
2022: Lionel Messi crowns his career with a dramatic win over France, in what many call the greatest World Cup final ever.
