Germany have hosted 2 world cups: one in 1974 and one in 2006. Out of those Germany have won one of them and come third in the other.
Only the host country/countries. The holders also used to be guaranteed a spot but the last 2 world cups they have had to qualify too.
Six host countries have won the world cup.
The current smallest country to ever host the World Cup is Switzerland in 1954, but in 2022, Qatar will become the smallest country to host the World Cup.
The last country to host both the Olympics and the world cup is the U.S.A.
England will host the world cup in 2015
No country has held three world cups as yet.
No its Enlgand obviously. - Cricket 1975 - Football 1966 - Rugby 1991 Bit of a stupid question really.
Italy was chosen as the host for the 1934 and 1990 FIFA World Cups.
Russia will host the 2018 world cup.
Any country can bid for a slot. The reason Third World and other poorer countries don't is because hosting the Olympics comes at great expense to the country and city which hosts it, and the host nation does not actually come out ahead financially for it.
