Qualifying for the World Cup is a long process during the years between each quadrennial tournament. Each of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s six confederations determines its own qualification system, which produces the men’s teams that represent each confederation’s region. The six confederations are Africa; Asia; Europe; North America, Central America, and the Caribbean; Oceania; and South America. The World Cup was first televised in 1954 and as of 2006[update] is the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world.

Germany has made the most top-four finishes (13), medals (12), as well as the most finals (8).

Referees are selected from lists that are submitted by all the national associations. The men’s World Cup all-time top scorer is Miroslav Klose of the German national football (soccer) team. He scored a total of 16 goals across four World Cup tournaments, from 2002 through 2014.

Held every four years since that time, except during World War II, the competition consists of international sectional tournaments leading to a final elimination event made up of 32 national teams. Unlike Olympic football, World Cup teams are not limited to players of a certain age or amateur status, so the competition serves more nearly as a contest between the world’s best players.

The last round of matches of each group is scheduled at the same time to preserve fairness among all four teams.[74] The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage. Since 1994, three points have been awarded for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss (before, winners received two points).
