The FIFA World Cup only happens once every four years because being a true worldwide competition, including over two hundred members, qualification takes almost two years. The Cup is played when there is no summer Olympic competition. This was purposely done by FIFA. During the other two years, some places play other tournaments, like the European Championship in Europe, which also takes an extended period for qualification followed by a finals tournament.
