Countries that have hosted the Copthat of the world
For your information, the World Cup only had 20 editions. However, don't think that it took place in 20 countries, as 5 of them hosted the event twice. Furthermore, the event has already suffered interruptions due to the Second World War.
Latin America
- Uruguay;
- Brazil (2 times);

- Chile;
- Argentina.
América do Norte
- Mexico (2 times);
- U.S.
Europe
- Italy (2 times);
- France (2 times);
- Switzerland;
- Sweden;
- England;
- West Germany (twice, considering the fall of the Berlin Wall);
- Spain.
The number of European countries that have hosted the World Cup, including more than once, is impressive. However, this is justifiable data. Compared to other continents, Europe has the highest concentration of rich nations that have the conditions to structure an event of this magnitude.
Since it is a global event, the cities that will receive tourists/fans must offer accommodation, security and good logistics between games. Not every city or country has the conditions to do this with a minimum of acceptable quality. Thus, the number of events in Europe is justified.
Africa
- South Africa.
This was the only edition of the World Cup hosted in Africa. However, it was one of the most striking, since the purpose of extolling black culture was very prominent in all the celebrations. Furthermore, no one forgot the famous anthem of this edition: “Waka Waka”, in the voice of Shakira.
Asia
- Russia;
It was there that the last edition of the competition took place, in 2018. If you don't remember, this was the event that resulted in the French team's second victory.
- South Korea/Japan.
