European Football

KOMPAS.com - The European continent is considered the mecca of world football. The sport of

football is developing so rapidly in Europe and the countries of the Blue Continent also dominate

world football. FIFA World cup is the biggest competition in the world.The first FIFA World Cup

was held in 1930, FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to organize an international football

tournament. The first World Cup, hosted in Uruguay in 1930, was contested as a final tournament

consisting of only 13 teams invited by the organization. Since then, the FIFA World Cup has

undergone successive expansions and the format was remade for the current 32-team finals initiated

by a two-year qualifying process, which involved nearly 200 teams from around the world.The most

Winners of FIFA World cup is Brazil 5 times(1958,1962,1970,1994,2002) . But Europe's dominance

on the world football stage can be seen from the countries that emerged as FIFA World Cup

champions. In the last four editions of the World Cup, the European continent has always won the

title. Starting with Italy, which won the 2006 World Cup, European dominance was continued by

Spain (2010), Germany (2014), and most recently France at the 2018 World Cup. Since 2006, the

World Cup podium has almost always been dominated by European countries. Only Argentina in the

2014 edition were able to occupy the second place (runner-up)

At the club level, European dominance is seen in the FIFA Club World Cup which has always been

dominated by representatives of the Blue Continent since 2013. In fact, since 2007, only Corinthians

(Brazil) has been recorded as a club from outside Europe that has been able to win the Club World

Cup. See Photos The Bayern Munich squad celebrates the Club World Cup title after defeating Tigres

strengthening its dominance on the world football stage with the existence of the best leagues

available. watched by people all over the world. The world's best players such as Cristiano Ronaldo

and Lionel Messi also play in European competitions. So what makes European football so advanced?

Journalist Sanjiv Shankaran in his column in The Times of India said that in general there are three
things that make European countries so superior in the world of football. First, Europe is the most

promising destination for the best footballers around the world. According to Shankaran, moving to a

European club is the best option for young talents in the world because they will have a great chance

to continue to grow into great footballers. European clubs are known to have first-class facilities for

football talents from a young age. This is what makes European teams recognized as owners of the

best coaching. Youth development is one of the keys to the progress of a country's football. If the club

can do a good job coaching young players, the results can also be enjoyed by the country's national

team.

The second factor that affects the progress of European football is the financial strength possessed by

teams in Europe's top leagues such as in England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France. These rich clubs

have contributed a lot to the evolution of football, from the construction of club facilities, the use of

technology, to touching things related to tactics. Third, according to Sanjiv Shankaran, European

countries with top clubs have an advantage because their national teams are populated by many

players who play together at club level. As an illustration, Bayern Munich has many players in the

German national team. Likewise with Spain with players from Barcelona and Real Madrid. On the

other hand, a country like Argentina, which has become the biggest exporter of players in recent

years, has struggled to form a truly strong national team.

The UEFA was founded on 15 June 1954 in Basel, Switzerland after consultations between the

Italian, French and Belgian associations.The first Secretary General is Henri Delaunay. Initially, the

European football union consisted of 25 members which doubled in number in the early 1990s. Most

UEFA memberships are recognized as sovereign states in Europe, although there are some exceptions.

Some small countries, (such as Vatican City) are not included in the membership. Some UEFA

members are not sovereign states, but are part of sovereign states that have been recognized by the

context of international law. For example: England and Scotland, (part of Great Britain) or Faroe

Islands, (part of Denmark). However, in this context state government functions related to sport tend
to be carried out at the regional level bordering the UEFA membership entity. Some UEFA members

are continental countries, (such as Turkey and Russia). Several countries in Asia also claim to be

European football associations, notably Israel and Kazakhstan, which have become members of the

Asian Football Confederation. In addition some UEFA member associations allow teams from outside

the main area of their association to take part in their own "domestic" competitions. Monaco, for

example, takes part in the French League (though a separate sovereign entity); Clubs Cardiff City and

Swansea City participate in the Premier League; Berwick Rangers, located in England, play in the

Scottish Professional Football League and Derry City, located in Northern Ireland, play in the Irish

League based in the Republic of Ireland
