To celebrate the biggest competition in football, Newsround is bringing you a footy fact for every day of the World Cup. Here are the first ones. Go to their page to read more and impress your friends.
Brazil is the most successful national football team in the
history of the World Cup, with five championship wins under their belt.
Brazil has also qualified for every World Cup match without the need for
playoffs.
The first ever World Cup match was played in Uruguay in 1930.
Thirteen teams from around the world competed, and the host nation
Uruguay became the first ever nation to win the world cup with a 4-2
triumph over Argentina.
The Brazilian team originally played in a white kit, until they
lost the World Cup at home in 1950. The kit was then seen as "cursed"
and a campaign was launched to design a new one.
An 18-year-old named Aldyr Garcia Schlee came up with the winning design of yellow and green shirts with blue shorts.
The kit was nicknamed the "Canarinha" which means canary.
