Football: How many World and European Championships already took place?

Question by Hero12 | Last update on 2024-07-15 | Created on 2016-01-07

Does someone know, how long there is something like a Football or Soccer World Cup and the European Championship?

And how many World Championships and European Championships have been held so far?

At some point, there must indeed have been the first time.

The first football World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. The World Cup 2022 in Qatar was the 22st World Cup so far. Because of the Second World War, there was no World Cup in 1942 and 1946. The next World Cup will be held in the USA, Mexico and Canada in 2026.

The first European championships took place 30 years later 1960 in France. Since then, we had 17 European championships so far (all 4 years) - most recently 2024 in Germany and 2020 (2021) all around Europe. The next European Championship will be held in 2028 in the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales) and Ireland.
