A lot of sports have special events where teams from all over
the world come to play.
Rugby, netball and swimming all have events to find out
who is the best in the world.
Football has a special event called the World Cup.

The World Cup
The World Cup is when football teams from countries all over the world come together to play.
It happens every four years and this year it will be held in Russia.

The countries are put into groups and play matches.
At the World Cup
The team that wins the most matches gets the World Cup.
This means they are the best football team in the world.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have never won the World Cup.
England won it once in 1966.
Who Has Won the World Cup?
Brazil has won the World Cup the most times.

Before a World Cup match starts, the players all shake hands with each other.
Fair Play
There is a special award given at the end of the World Cup called the Fair Play Trophy. This is given to the team who had the least yellow and red cards during The World Cup.
Walk around the room pretending to be football players and shake hands with people.
