Unlike many other sports, the men’s football tournament at the Olympics is not a top-level tournament, and since 1992, an under-23 tournament with each team allowed three over-age players. Due to the success of the Olympic football tournaments, FIFA, with President Jules Rimet as the driving force, again started looking at staging its own international tournament outside of the Olympics. On 28 May 1928, the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam decided to stage a world championship itself.
Of these, eight national teams have won the World Cup, and they have added stars to their badges, with each star representing a World Cup victory. Currently, all members of the top three teams receive medals with an insignia of the World Cup Trophy; winners’ , runners-up’ , and third-place . In the 2002 edition, fourth-place medals were awarded to hosts South Korea. Before the 1978 tournament, medals were only awarded to the eleven players on the pitch at the end of the final and the third-place match. In November 2007, FIFA announced that all members of World Cup-winning squads between 1930 and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners’ medals.
Given Afghanistan’s potent spin attack, decent batting, and most importantly, their penchant for standing up to the bigger teams, they will be India’s bet against the New Zealanders. Their campaign taking another hit with a second successive defeat, India will need to win all their remaining matches while hoping that other results go their way to keep their semifinal prospects alive in the T20 World Cup. The impact of the Homeless World Cup Foundation extends far beyond the 500 players who attend the annual event. Our Mission is to use football to support and inspire people who are homeless to change their own lives; and to change perceptions and attitudes towards people who are experiencing homelessness. The Homeless World Cup Foundation is a unique, pioneering charity which uses football to inspire people who are homeless to change their own lives. Many other sports have organized “World Cup” competitions.
Whether Backstedt can utilise this crossover to tame the track, road and cyclo-cross circuit at elite level remains to be seen, or is perhaps only a matter of time. Guptill got the chase off to a strong start in the Powerplay, hitting all but four of his team’s runs before falling for 20 in the fourth over to Jasprit Bumrah. There were just two sixes and ten boundaries in total in India’s innings, leaving them needing a superb showing from the bowlers to avoid a second straight World Cup loss. But Jadeja came in and at least helped India to bring up the ton, hitting 26 of 19 balls, one of only two batters along with Rahul to score at more than a run-a-ball. India had made a change at the top of the order from their opening loss to Pakistan, bringing in Ishan Kishan for Suryakumar Yadav and dropping the rest of the batting line-up down one. But Kishan made little impact, falling to Trent Boult for just four off eight balls.

The World Cup happens every four years in order to have enough time for the qualification tournaments and playoffs among national teams to take place. Additionally, four years provides the host country adequate time to plan the logistics of the tournament and how to best accommodate an influx of millions of fans. Men’s football has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except 1896 and 1932.
They scored 260/6 in 20 overs against Kenya in 2007. Seven years later, Sri Lanka bowled the Netherlands out for the lowest score in T20 World Cup history. Earlier in the day, New Zealand restricted India to their lowest first-innings total ever in the T20 World Cup, courtesy of some exceptional bowling performance from their bowlers. The Kiwis had only 111 runs to chase and they did that with 33 balls to spare.
