Football World Cup Espana 1982
A universal sporting event, the Football World Cup is one of the most anticipated and appreciated contemporary cultural phenomena by audiences from all walks of life.
Crossing borders and imposing, under all skies, its colors, its spectacle and its emotions, football today constitutes a universal language that athletes around the world know, practice and favor beyond all the disciplines of physical education and sports.
Indeed, the eleven-a-side game arouses extraordinary interest in most countries around the globe: king sport, popular sport, geometric locus of multiple issues, football dominates national and international sports news more than any other social and cultural activity wherever it occurs and develops.
All the data surrounding this more than century-old sport have changed since the first World Cup organized in 1930 in Uruguay, at the initiative of Jules Rimet, until the one which took place in Spain in June 1982.
For this edition, no less than 3,000 television, radio and written press journalists will be at the Spanish Mundial to cover this grandiose international sporting event. They will be present to relate, comment and report the facts, figures and results to hundreds of millions of readers and nearly 2 billion viewers who will live to the rhythm of the 52 scheduled meetings.
Among the 24 nations participating in this 12th edition in Spain, Algeria, which qualified for the final phase of this global competition, will have the honor of representing the African continent and Algerian sport. Throughout the elimination rounds, the Algerian national team was able to rise to a higher level thanks to its technical and moral qualities to ensure success which remains above all that of Algerian youth and the national sports movement.
