Soccer #5


         









 Federation Internationale de Football Association or in other words FIFA is a worldwide known organization. All the worldwide football tournaments are held by this organization. This a huge tournament that takes place after every 4 years. It contains huge appreciation to it's favorites since that's what they like from all the rest of sports. Even though this event occurs only once in every four years it has achieved a lot of  appreciation and attraction which has many possible reasons behind it. It has becoming one of the most watched events worldwide. These tournaments are also special because they are even bigger than the Olympics which has no match what so ever. There were many reasons that lead to the birth of the FIFA World Cup. Before it didn't exist, there used to be only a single soccer match for soccer players. That tournament used to take place in the Olympics.
         As time passed, FIFA suggested for establishing a separate organization for soccer tournament purposes. Soon, the meeting was held and finally on May 28, 1928, FIFA got lucky and succeeded in establishing the organization. FIFA  With FIFA's decision the very first game was supposed to be hosted by Uruguay. Italy was given the chance of hosting the very second tournament after exact four years passed by. Italy got success in that tournament against Czechoslovakia and also received the credit for being a home team. The third FIFA World Cup went safe and sound and was hosted by France but it lost unfortunately against Italy who kept it's winning streak. Than, things got change a little because there was quiet a gap between the third and the fourth one. This was caused because of the interference of the World War II which broke up in Europe. Now a days, FIFA's popularity has increased tremendously because of the fact that it's a huge organization consisting of variety of countries throughout the world. FIFA is trying  to maintain it's identity by focusing on holding their upcoming tournaments in Asia, Middle East, and in Africa. The 2018 tournament is planned to be held in Qatar.
          More than half of percentage of the world population likes to be connected with this great sport of Soccer. One of the matches that people would never forget to watch is Barcelona Vs Ac Milan. These type of tournaments occur very often and that is one of the reasons it contains more popularity and appreciation than any other ones. Barcelona is known as one of the best clubs of Spain while AC Milan is known to be the best one from Italy. Both being opponents on the soccer field is quiet a imaginary scene. Lionel Messi-a megastar is a very well known player for FCB. He is a great soccer player who has led his team to the success a lot of times. 
          Unlike any other player I have mentioned so far, Ronaldo is the best of all. He is one of them who has inspired me since I got into this soccer stuff. His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro who was born on February 5th 1985 Fuchual Maeira, Portugal. From a simple young teen to becoming a famous megastar he has shown off his super soccer skills. He started off his career from a club known as Sporting Clube de Portugal. He is also known for being involved in humanitarian works and helping and donating goods for poor and needy people. Later, he planned on moving to Manchester United where he was honored by receiving a number 7 jersey which was worn by many legends before him. One of the most commonly known soccer club known as Real Madrid finally bought him and Ronaldo soon became the most expensive player of all times Criatiani Ronaldo was the Ballon d'Or winnter of 2008, World Soccer player of 2008, Goal.com player of the year of 2008 and 2012, PFA Young Player of the year 2006-07 and much more. Ronaldo even owns a soccer related fashion boutique known as CR7 in Portugal. 
          After all this research about soccer I got to know a lot of interesting facts about soccer. Still, I think I got to learn as much as possible about this. On of the things I am still concerned about is FIFA and other interesting facts about it that I'm not aware of. These include: deeper history of all the FIFA world cups, How did FIFA started to expand and it's worldwide popularity- the main factors behind that, Where does FIFA is currently planning to promote it's identity, and How has it helped other organizations through donations. One other thing I am willing to look up is about the famous soccer players who have brought up the popularity of Soccer. Those awesome players include: Ronaldo-Brazil and Beckham-Manchester United.
