FIFA

The history of the FIFA World Cup is a long and storied one. It has always been controversial, from boycotts through bribery allegations to betting scandals there has always been something happening with regards to this global sporting event. The first ever international match was held in Turin, Italy in 1926 between Italy and Czechoslovakia. This game was considered by some as the official beginning of football as we know it today with 17 players on each team taking part in a 90 minute game played over two halves plus extra time if needed.

It took until 1922 for FIFA to move forward with its plans but after that things picked up quickly for them as more countries became interested in joining up with this international sports body and by 1928 there were only two countries left who hadn’t joined yet: India and South Africa!
