This Fifa world cup diagram depicts a senior men's national football competition between members of the Federation Internationale de Football Association, the sport's global governing body. The championship has been granted every four years since its inception in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, when it was not organized due to the Second World War. France is the current champion, having won their second title in Russia in 2018. The current format includes a three-year qualification phase to understand which teams advance to the tournament phase.
