What is the World Cup? The World Cup is an international football competition that takes place every four years. It is one of the most popular competitions in the world.
The first World Cup event was held (举办) in 1930 and it has only been canceled (取消) twice in the history of the competition—in 1942 and 1946, because of the Second World War (战争).
