Read the passage below and choose the best option to complete the following sentences.
No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever
since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in
popularity and prestige.
A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules
Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams
together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's
name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop
to the competition.
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the
greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the
Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May
1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition.
Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated
audience of over 37 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately
1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the
French stadia.
After all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup
remains the same the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's
ambition.
