What makes it so incredibly popular ?

There is a lot of media around it, even before the competition started, the experience also attracts people who choose to travel to the host country for a live experience and for others who watch from home to have the experience of watching live games on the world's highest stage of football. People like me who are not super fans of football are even attracted to watch the games because everyone is talking about it.

Football is a sport that is loved by everyone since it is a sport that most people know how to play from childhood. World cup brings 32 countries together every four years to represent their country in football and so many players can't wait for this opportunity to show that their country is the best in football because it is a game of respect.

Football fans can go as far to watch the world cup if they since it is part of  tourism in which the host country is the tourist center. Countries will also go along with their fans,this is the biggest competition in football and it comes once in awhile if you miss it sorry till the next four years where you might not see the players you love most playing anymore because of old age. Lastly everybody wants to watch their country playing because their fathers,brothers or children are the players.

what makes it very lively is of course because of the many people who like soccer. and even when the World Cup comes, it's not just football fans who celebrate the World Cup. but people from various countries who qualify will certainly be very enthusiastic to support the national teams of their respective countries. and even the world cup also attracts business people in various fields to follow this trend. so that in the market even world cup souvenirs in various countries have a high level of demand (good for business people / generate profits). and many more things that certainly make the FIFA World Cup always a lively event and everyone has been waiting for. Even people who usually don't watch football matches sometimes want to watch too.

because the world cup is held only once every 4 years. and on this occasion the world cup made people unite to uphold their respective favorite teams.
on the other hand because the world cup is the right time for all national teams in various countries to show their best matches to occupy 1st place and can be recognized throughout the country

and the last other reason is because the world cup brings benefits to anyone who is involved in it. I mean definitely big organizations will take the opportunity to benefit from this world cup

[Moneyprism]

we know that football is not just a sport, but this is a matter of pride and prestige and is also related to politics, this is what makes this sport a sport that is loved by the majority of people in the world.. the euphoria of the world cup is also proof that Football is a very prestigious sport and is loved by many people, and this is a very big industry

The world cup has a larger purpose than just bringing people together via football. The only sport where fans from around the world get together to support their countries is the world cup. A fan's greatest thrill is to visit the host nation and cheer for their home team. Additionally, it offers them the chance to socialize with others from around the globe. Some people seize the chance for a holiday, while others do so for business. It's good to see players from other tribes and religions come together for a game in a nation other than their own.

Apart from the glamour and excitement of football matches, people go to the World Cup for several reasons. Tourist see it as a big privilege to visit most host nations and other neighboring states. During this period most host nations reduce the entry requirement of their countries because they are expecting more people. Also the World Cup period bring together many people from different culture. Tourist find this time very interesting because they would meet people from other lands or country.
Businessmen and companies also cease this opportunity to meet clients and advertise their goods and services. Some companies can also use this chance to carryout feasibility studies of the host and its neighboring countries so as to identify business opportunities.

Football in total has been a spectator sport for as long as I can remember. No wonder people travel across the globe just to feature in its games. Its  advantages of encouraging trade relationship between nations, added to the fact that it a sport wherein the participants socialize thereby fostering unity and creating bonds, makes it one of the best games in the sports history.
The world cup unlike other tournaments hosted is like the grand occasion or top tier of football. Only top players are ever granted the privilege to participate and make their name seared in the pages of history. Here careers are made and rising stars are discovered. Careers can also be destroyed if these players or fans dare to contravene the laws guiding such a huge tournament. The worst is to be banned for misconduct, and it can happen to both an individual and even a nation in whole.

The real reason that you have people to the world cup like that is because they are watching the most loved sports game in the world. If you check in the numbers of sports that is watched by many homes you see it is football and you expect the kind of number of people when it is bringing the whole lovers of it in the world together in a season. Apart to the numbers watching direct in the stadium that it is played, the people watching in different countries are too much also the money that is coming from it through the different businesses going on within that season. Media hype is on to it and TV stations get money from the viewing, viewing stations too and bars all make profit this season. It is the most followed sports events of the world that is the reason of billions of people watching it.

Actually the business behind the soccer made very popular cause its multi billion dollar sports and probably the highest revenue making sport as well. The other reasons are some what it connects with the people and it involves every player from both the team to win the game unless other games need special physique to excel and ofcourse the agression among the players on the field connects and separate the audience so its one of the popular sport.

  I detest football/soccer. Find it to be really boring.
Too many times I watched a game played in the midfield with zero shots on goal for over 30 minutes in a row.

But I will watch it on and off hoping for huge upsets like Japan over Germany or Saudi Arabia beating Argentina.

I know both German and Argentina fans are suffering bigly which brings a smile to my face. That morons can actually get upset over their teams losing.

 

BTW I am still pissed off that the Mets lost to San Diego. So whenever I think about them I switch my mind to German and Argentina fans that I know are suffering.

I think all non fans of any sport that is big do this.

So When the World Cup comes along if they are like me they will watch hoping for a big favorite to lose.

I think same for Olympics. Hell I watch curling and find it watchable just to see a long shot team win.

[Bananington]

The reason the world cup attracts billion of fans worldwide, is because it is like a way of connecting the continent together, the world cup is the biggest cup on the planet earth in soccer, and it hardly comes by, that's why you see every player that plays in their various leagues, try as much as possible to make it to the world cup. Soccer on it's own is a game of excitement, talk more of when it comes to the world cup that comes every four years. Every fan want to see their top players in one competition representing their countries, that's why it attract billions of fan.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Football/Soccer is such a fanscinating sport that attracts billions of fans all over the world. The World Cup represents the highest level of its competition. What makes it so incredibly popular ?

Because it's the most prestigious football competition in the world. It is used by the government to unite the people, and countries together. Then, also, it is played every four years. It is the most sponsored competition in the world. And it is the biggest football competition. So that's the reason why it is the most followed football competition in the planet. Every player's dream is to play in the World Cup. It is the most important competition for a footballer. And it is also regarded as the biggest footballing competition in a footballer's career.

I certainly share your view. We are just the same kind of people who are excited about the "unexpected outcome". Japan winning Germany might be a surprise to you or to many football fans but beating Spain absolutely proved Japan's rapid and solid growth. Now Germany has lost all and gone back home, Japan and Spain are going to the next level of competition. There will be more surprises that strike more fans. We'll see.

I think you made a very good point from the cultural and social perspective. Footbal is indeed more than a sports game and brings more social and economic benefits to countries and fans. Another factor that could have made this happen is the consistency of hosting the World Cup. It has been the most watched sports event in history and through 92 years, it has accumulated an enormous fame and impact to the world. Nothing else is as global and influential as the World Cup. Look forward to more exciting matches to come. Cheers !

Football is a very exciting sport, a team represents a country, there are some loyal fans, just like basketball, the fans have faith, I love this sport because I can bet on which country will be the winner , I bet that there will be a corresponding return.

[HughMunro]

In terms of interests, half of the fans are half of the gamblers. It is also an interest for all countries to host the World Cup. The commercial value of the World Cup is higher than that of other sports events. It increases the country's GDP and has the most investors.

First of all, let’s talk about economic benefits. Games with high economic value can be favored by more organizers. Besides, influential football is the number one sport in the world. Countries all over the world, regardless of their economic size, have people participating in football. In sports, the popularity of Messi is higher than that of the president of Brazil.

[lenexn]

It can improve the popularity of the country. There are many sponsors of the World Cup. The World Cup attracts not only fans but also various brands, which improves the development of the country and generates greater profits. Especially when it is held every four years, everyone is looking forward to it , everyone benefits.
