There have been 21 editions of the FIFA World Cup which is an international association football tournament established in 1930.
It is contested by the men's national teams which are members of FIFA, the sport's global governing body.
The tournament has taken place every four years since its inauguration, apart from 1942 and 1946 due to World War II.
[1] The tournament has been decided by a one-off match on every occasion except 1950, when the tournament winner was decided by a final round-robin group contested by four teams (Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain).
Therefore, this match is regarded by FIFA as the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup.
