FIFA had further developed the Fan Fest concept for 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That time FIFA went global with 6 international Fan Fests in Berlin, Mexico City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome and Sydney in addition to 10 national Fan Fests in Cape Town, Durban, Sandton, Soweto, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Rustenburg and Pretoria. [31] [32] [33] According to FIFA the Fan Fests in Host Cities attracted over 2.6 million fans with Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth being the most popular location with 741 thousands, 557 thousands and 276 thousands visitors respectively. International Fan Fest totaled for 3.5 million fans with 350 thousands fans in Berlin at Germany v. Spain semi-final followed by 93.5 thousands spectators in Mexico City for the Argentina v. Mexico match and 83.7 thousands people in Rio de Janeiro for the Brazil v. Côte d'Ivoire game. Australian fans ignored time zone difference to attend at Fan Fest to watch Australia v. Germany game in the middle of the night. [34]
South African government considered the 2010 World Cup a huge success for the national economy. Hosting an international tournament helped the Host Cities to attract investments in sports venues, telecommunications and transport infrastructure, boosted tourism and promoted national identity (that was especially important for the country that was under apartheid for 46 years). [35] 2010 World Cup's legacy included development projects that benefited local communities and were directly related to FIFA Fan Fests. Mangaung Outdoor Sports Centre in Bloemfontein meant to become a Fan Fest location underwent repairs and upgrades that remained after the tournament was over. Cape Town authorities provided NGOs working on environment protection and sustainability initiatives a notable presence at World Cup's main Fan Fest at Grand Parade. Development projects in City of Tshwane ranged from the extension of CCTV to providing additional security for fans to support informal traders, vendors and artists. Local catering vendors were certified and allowed to operate at Fan Fests and other venues, traders were provided an opportunity to sell local goods to visitors and artists participated in Fan Fest activities. All of them were added to the government database to be considered for future cooperation with City of Tshwane authorities. [36] In 2012 FIFA launched the 2010 FIFA World Cup Legacy Trust to support a wide range of developments projects in sports, education, health and humanitarian activities in South Africa. [37]

2014 FIFA World Cup Fan Fests took place in 12 Host Cities: Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Salvador and Recife. Fan Fest was set up in iconic locations, common places for public celebrations. [38] Brazilian football star Ronaldo became the Fan Fest ambassador for the 2014 World Cup in addition to his role in Organizing Committee. [39] Due to high cost of the World Cup infrastructure the Host Cities wanted to attract private investors to co-finance Fan Fests for football supporters. I. e. the Municipality of Recife squandered public funds on construction of Itaipava Arena Pernambuco (14th most expensive stadium in the world by that time with a total cost of 274 million) and claimed itself unable to fund the original Fan Fest project. [13] [40] In March 2014 Recife authorities declared they were going to wait for external financing for Fan Fest. The deadlock was resolved in May, 1 month before the World Cup, when FIFA and its Brazilian partner stepped in to organize Fan Fest in Recife on their own. [41]
2014 World Cup Fan Fests attracted over 5.1 million fans including nearly 1 million tourists from 202 countries. [42] The Fan Fest at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro was the most popular one with 937 thousands attendees through the World Cup followed by São Paulo with 806 thousands visitors, Fortaleza with 781 thousands and Manaus with 504 thousands guests. [43] Argentina v. Germany game attracted the largest number of people to Fan Fests totaling for 285 thousands at all 12 Host Cities. [39]

For the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia Fan Fests took place in the host cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Sochi, Volgograd, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov on Don, Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg, Samara and Saransk. [44] In November 2017 FIFA unveiled Russia national football team's record goalscorer Aleksandr Kerzhakov and French 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 winner Marcel Desailly as ambassadors for Fan Fests of the 2018 Cup. [45]
According to FIFA the Fan Fests in Russian Host Cities attracted 7.7 million people that exceeded the numbers at 2014 World Cup in Brazil by a quarter. [46] The festivals located at Sparrow Hills in Moscow and Konyushennaya Square in St. Petersburg both exceeded 1 million participants with 1.87 and 1.303 million fans respectively. 738 thousands people participated in Fan Fest in Kazan while Nizhny Novgorod, Samara and Volgograd totaled for 600 thousands each, followed with 500 thousands per Sochi and Rostov-on-Don, 400 thousands in Saransk, 385 thousands in Kaliningrad and 310 thousands in Ekaterinburg. The Russia — Uruguay match alone attracted nearly half a million fans to Fan Festivals all over the country. The broadcast time for all the games totaled 917 hours and the event schedule for Fan Fests reached 323 hours. [47] [48]

FIFA offers its affiliates various sponsorship and partnership opportunities that provide recognition across FIFA Fan Fests in Host Cities. 2010 World Cup Fan Fests introduced The Coca-Cola Company as Presenting sponsor, MTN Group and Neo Africa as sponsors and South African Broadcasting Corporation as Official broadcaster. [34] FIFA Fan Fests at 2014 World Cup were sponsored by AmBev, The Coca-Cola Company, Hyundai Kia, Banco Itaú, Johnson & Johnson, Oi and Sony. [39]
FIFA requires the host countries to apply specific by-laws and regulations for the duration of the World Cups. Those measures are meant to provide FIFA, its sponsors and partners exclusive rights within and around sports venues and Fan Fests. Such regulations are included in World Cup-specific laws such as Special Measures Act in South Africa, General World Cup Law in Brazil and The Federal Law on Carrying out the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and FIFA Confederation Cup in 2017 in Russia. Regarding FIFA Fan Fests those legislations regulate advertising, signage, street trading and vending, beautification and decorum. According to those laws FIFA, its sponsors, partners and authorized third parties get exclusive rights to advertise, sell goods, food and beverage within and around Fan Fests. [50] [51] Nonetheless those restrictions were softened every World Cup. In 2006 it happened due to protests from Organising Committee pressured by German companies, in 2010 local informal business was integrated into World Cup events through development projects promoting local culture, in 2014 the local business and NGOs, community organizations and local authorities achieved that through negotiations. [18] [36] [52]
The entrance-free FIFA Fan Fests provide visitors an inclusive, special and highly emotional way to watch World Cup games. [13] That way Fan Fests attract people who would otherwise never go to a sports venue. [53] I.e. according to monitoring and surveys during 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany the share of female supporters at Fan Fests reached 44% thereby notably exceeding the share of women at stadiums. [53] FIFA doesn't prohibit alcohol consumption at Fan Fests as monitoring through the 2006 World Cup in Germany, 2010 World Cup in South Africa and 2014 World Cup in Brazil proved the sale of alcohol cause no public disturbance or violence while the absence of alcohol at Fan Fests may discourage fans from visiting PVAs and guide them towards peripheral bars and areas where they may be targeted by hooligans. [54] Due to FIFA's policy Brazil even had to temporarily lift its ban on alcohol sales at football matches enforced in 2003 in bid to curb fan violence. [55]
In addition to live broadcasts FIFA Fan Fests offer food and beverages, merchandise and various entertainment events by local and international artists. The start of 2006 World Cup was celebrated by a concert at Fan Fest in Berlin, kicked off by Scottish rock band Simple Minds followed by Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado, English band Right Said Fred and Italian singers Gianna Nannini and Andrea Bocelli. [56] Live concerts and shows followed on other World Cup days when there were no games scheduled. [57] In South Africa Ziggy Marley performed at Fan Fest in Johannesburg while Port Elizabeth Fan Fest presented a concert by Fatboy Slim, Locnville and Just Jinjer. International Fan Fests' line-ups included Velile, K'naan, Uwu Lena and Eisblume in Berlin, La Sonora Dinamita in Mexico and Stan Walker and Cassie Davis in Sydney. In 2010 the event schedule for Fan Fests totaled for 2600 hours in Host Cities and 1600 hours at International Fan Fests. [34] In Brazil FIFA's broadcasting partner TV Globo organized 754 live music performances at Fan Fests in Host Cities through 25 days of the World Cup. Cristiano Araújo, Claudia Leitte, Jota Quest, Skank, Luan Santana and Gusttavo Lima performed for Brazilian and foreign fans at 10 fan zones. [39] Fan Fest organizers also aimed to promote local culture via various entertaining activities and provide a family-friendly environment where children could follow the parents or play in secured child-friendly areas. [34] [58] [59] 2018 FIFA Fan Fests in Russia introduced Zemfira, Bravo, Kasta, Vadim Samoilov from Agatha Cristie, Billy's Band, Chaif, Diskoteka Avariya IOWA, Benny Benassi, Paul Oakenfold, Pendulum and Kadebostany. [60]
FIFA sets up official Fan Fests and owns the trademark, and also provides licenses for private commercial and non-commercial fan zones. Public viewing is allowed royalty-free as long as the event is not commercialized via entrance fees or raised prices for food and drinks. [61] Otherwise the organizers have to get a commercial license. Neither commercial nor non-commercial private PVAs are supposed to suggest there is any official link with the FIFA World Cup, though the use of some theming such as the "World Cup" brand is allowed. [62] The funds collected from commercial PVA licenses are allocated to various social development programs via FIFA-affiliated bodies. The revenues raised during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany were donated to SOS Children's Villages and the official 2006 World Cup charity campaign "Six villages for 2006". [1] The profits from 2010 FIFA World Cup were used to build 20 football centers in South Africa via the official "20 Centres for 2010" campaign. [63] The money generated from 2014 World Cup in Brazil were invested into community organizations that use football as a catalyst for social development via FIFA's Football for Hope social development program. [64]
The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champion is France, which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia.
The 2002 FIFA World Cup was the 17th FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for men's national football teams organized by FIFA. It was held from 31 May to 30 June 2002 at sites in South Korea and Japan, with its final match hosted by Japan at International Stadium in Yokohama.
The 1966 FIFA World Cup was the eighth FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial football tournament for men's senior national teams. It was played in England from 11 July to 30 July 1966. England defeated West Germany 4–2 in the final to win their first and so far only ever title; the match had finished at 2–2 after 90 minutes and went to extra time, when Geoff Hurst scored two goals to complete his hat-trick, the first to be scored in a World Cup final, with a handful of spectators wandering on to the pitch during the fourth goal. England were the fifth nation to win the event, and the third host nation to win after Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 1934. Brazil were the defending champions, but they failed to progress from the group stage.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the 18th FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international association football world championship tournament. It was held from 9 June to 9 July 2006 in Germany, which had won the right to host the event in July 2000. Teams representing 198 national football associations from all six populated continents participated in the qualification process which began in September 2003. Thirty-one teams qualified from this process along with hosts Germany for the finals tournament. It was the second time that Germany staged the competition and the first as a unified country along with the former East Germany with Leipzig as a host city, and the 10th time that the tournament was held in Europe.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the 19th FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams. It took place in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010. The bidding process for hosting the tournament finals was open only to African nations. In 2004, the international football federation, FIFA, selected South Africa over Egypt and Morocco to become the first African nation to host the finals.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup was the 20th FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for men's national football teams organised by FIFA. It took place in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014, after the country was awarded the hosting rights in 2007. It was the second time that Brazil staged the competition, the first being in 1950, and the fifth time that it was held in South America. Fans and pundits alike consider this edition of the World Cup to be one of the greatest ever held.
The FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup is an international association football tournament, organized by FIFA, for national teams of women under the age of 20. The tournament is held in even-numbered years. It was first conducted in 2002 as the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship with an upper age limit of 19. In 2006, the age limit was raised to the current 20. The event was renamed as a World Cup effective with the 2008 competition, making its name consistent with FIFA's other worldwide competitions for national teams.
The FIFA Club World Cup is an international men's association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The competition was first contested in 2000 as the FIFA Club World Championship, and returned in 2005, four years after the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure (ISL), which became the most important factor of the cancelled 2001 tournament. Thereafter, it has been held every year, and has been hosted by Brazil, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Qatar. Views differ as to the cup's prestige: it struggles to attract interest in most of Europe, and is the object of heated debate in South America.
The bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups was the process by which the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) selected locations for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups. The process began officially in March 2009; eleven bids from thirteen countries were received, including one which was withdrawn and one that was rejected before FIFA's executive committee voted in November 2010. Two of the remaining nine bids applied only to the 2022 World Cup, while the rest were initially applications for both. Over the course of the bidding, all non-European bids for the 2018 event were withdrawn, resulting in the exclusion of all European bids from consideration for the 2022 edition. By the time of the decision, bids for the 2018 World Cup included England, Russia, a joint bid from Belgium and Netherlands, and a joint bid from Portugal and Spain. Bids for the 2022 World Cup came from Australia, Japan, Qatar, South Korea, and the United States. Indonesia's bid was disqualified due to lack of governmental support, and Mexico withdrew its bid for financial reasons.
The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA, the world's football governing body, decided to stage an international men's football tournament under the era of FIFA president Jules Rimet who put this idea into place. The inaugural edition, held in 1930, was contested as a final tournament of only thirteen teams invited by the organization. Since then, the World Cup has experienced successive expansions and format remodeling, with its current 32-team final tournament preceded by a two-year qualifying process, involving over 200 teams from around the world.
Seventeen countries have been FIFA World Cup hosts in the competition's twenty-one tournaments since the inaugural World Cup in 1930. The organization at first awarded hosting to countries at meetings of FIFA's congress. The choice of location was controversial in the earliest tournaments, given the three-week boat journey between South America and Europe, the two centers of strength in football at the time.
The Australia men's national soccer team represents Australia in international men's soccer.

The FIFA World Cup has a significant impact on the global economy.
The Japan 2022 FIFA World Cup bid was the second official bid from the Japan Football Association or the JFA. Had this bid been successful, Japan would have been hosting their second World Cup Finals and it would have been their first solo hosting since they shared the 2002 FIFA World Cup with other co-host South Korea, becoming the sixth nation to host the tournament twice, after Italy, France, Mexico, Brazil and (West) Germany. On May 4, 2010, the Japanese Football Association Bid team decided to concentrate solely on winning the right to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
This is a record of Germany and West Germany's results at the FIFA World Cup. The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of FIFA, the sport's global governing body.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup is the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international association football tournament, being held in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July. It is the first time the finals of the tournament have been staged in an African host nation as South Africa were selected as hosts following a bidding in 2004. The impact of the event itself transcend those bound by its athletic aspect and appeal, and the socioeconomic aspects of the tournament are far reaching.
Twelve venues in twelve Brazilian cities were selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The cities also housed the 32 teams and fan-zones for spectators without tickets for the stations. Around 3 million tickets were put on sale of which most were sold out in a day. Eighteen locations were presented as potential host cities with the twelve successful candidates announced on 31 May 2009: Belém, Campo Grande, Florianópolis, Goiânia and Rio Branco were rejected, while Maceió had already withdrawn in January 2009.
