Football World Cup - Germany 2006
Since the first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, at the initiative of the Frenchman Jules Rimet, to the 18th edition which will take place from June 9 to July 9, 2006 in Germany, football has always been the most important and intense event, far surpassing the largest sporting gatherings in the world, rivaling other current events, with the exception of a few major scientific or political firsts. Since then, the Football World Cup continues to attract worldwide attention.
Indeed, the “World Cup”, so called, has become over the years the most publicized event on the planet as it constitutes a major phenomenon adopted by all classes and cultures without distinction.
Throughout its brilliant journey, the World Cup trophy has continued to be the covetousness of all football teams and players through the magic of its spectacle, the joy and emotion it provides making each meeting a grandiose and unique celebration, making it a real industry with multiple challenges.
If the 2002 edition was distinguished by the fact that, for the first time, this event took place in Asia, and jointly in two different countries, in this case Japan and South Korea, but it was also the last time that the country holding the trophy was directly qualified for the final phase.
Thirty-two qualified countries will take part in the final phase which will take place in Germany, host country of the event, including five African countries including Tunisia (which is in its third participation), Angola, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo for the first time at the World Cup.
This eighteenth edition of the World Cup which is taking place on the European continent will pass from 2010, and for the first time in the history of football, the torch to the African continent and it is to South Africa that the honor of organizing this major quadrennial sporting event will fall.
