The final tournaments of the world Championships are held every 4 years, like Olympic games,
however, if we consider the regional qualifiers, every world Cup continues for more than 3 years.
In the qualifying rounds of the 2010 world Cup involved 204 of the team. In the final tournament,
which takes place every 4 years for about a month in advance, selected the host country of the
championship, since 1998 take part 32 teams (31 teams, became eligible at the end of the
qualifying tournament, and the team of the host country (since 1938); theoretically, the tournament
can take more than one country, however, more than 85-year history, only once FIFA has
entrusted the staging of the world Cup to two countries. Subsequently, the organization has
repeatedly signaled that it is not aimed at holding the tournament in two or more countries (unlike,
for example, from UEFA since UEFA EURO 2000, has repeatedly entrusted the European
Championships in multiple countries). From 1938 until 2002 the winner of the previous season's
world championship also participated in the final tournament without qualification; since 2006, the
winner of the previous world championship is a qualifying tournament on a common basis).
