FIFA World Cup History

The Very first edition of the FIFA World Cup was organized in 1930 in Uruguay where the then-FIFA President, Jules Rimet invited 13 international teams to take part in the tournament. Uruguay emerged victorious as hosts in that tournament. With a successful WC behind them, FIFA decided to make it a four-year tournament where each edition is to be held after every 4 years, on similar lines to the Olympics. The competition was canceled in the years 1942 and 1946 due to the World War II but resumed back in the year 1950. The 2018 FIFA World cup finals will be the 21^st edition of the tournament taking place and Russia has been decided as the FIFA World Cup 2018 host.

2018 FIFA World Cup Logo

The official emblem for the FIFA World Cup 2018 was revealed by a group of three astronauts at the International Space Station on October 28^th, 2014. The whole inspiration behind the FIFA World Cup 2018 Live Streaming logo was to provide the world with an insight into the rich artistic traditions and history prevalent in the host nation. The achievement Russia has achieved in Space was a major reason why the emblem was decided to launch at the Space Station. The shape of the 2018 FIFA world cup Logo includes the outline of the World Cup trophy with the use of red, blue and gold colors symbolizing the age-old art techniques from Russia.
