**Participating Nations Pyramid** Original topic for QTing - **Football World Cup Trivia** --- Following on from the surprising statistic that only 8 nations have ever won the World Cup (my DC entry), is the fact that only 80 nations have ever participated in the World Cup Finals tournament. Football is the most popular sport by participation (people and countries) with FIFA having 211 member nations. Between the Finals Tournament held every four years are the continentatl qualifying tournaments. The 80 number is boosted in 2026 as the number of nations participating in the finals has been increased from 32 to 48, that includes 4 nations qualifying for the first time.
