Question by Hero12 | Last update on 2024-02-23 | 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 16 European championships so far (all 4 years) - the last 2020 (2021) all around Europe. The next European Championship will be in Germany in 2024.
