Fotball-VM: FIFA arrangerer VM i fotball for menn hvert fjerde år. Det første mesterskapet ble arrangert i Uruguay i 1930, og siden har det blitt arrangert hver gang, unntatt i 1942 (2. verdenskrig) og 1946 (krigsrekonvalesens). Fram til nå (2015) har Brasil med sine 5 titler vunnet flest ganger, og Brasil er dessuten det eneste landet som har deltatt hver gang.

Norge har deltatt i tre sluttspill, og gjorde sitt beste mesterskap i 1998 da de kom til åttendedelsfinalen. I grunnspillet slo de Brasil 2-1 i den legendariske kampen i Marseille. Brasil ble senere sølvvinnere i mesterskapet.

Until now (2015), Brazil is the most-winning country with 5 titles, and Brazil is also the only country that has participated in every championship.
