Why the World Cup Captivates the World

“Did you know the FIFA World Cup is the most-watched sporting event in the world?

Over half the planet tunes in every four years.” “The next tournament will feature 48

teams instead of 32, which means even more countries will get a shot at glory.”

“Players train for years, often starting as kids in local academies, just to get a chance

to play on the biggest stage in football.” “And it’s not just about goals—fans, culture,

and national pride make the World Cup a global phenomenon unlike anything else.”
