<P> Only Mexico, Italy, France, Germany (West Germany until shortly after the 1990 World Cup) and Brazil have hosted the event on two occasions . Mexico City's Estadio Azteca and Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã are the only venues ever to have hosted two FIFA World Cup finals . Only the 2002 FIFA World Cup had more than one host, being split between Japan and South Korea . </P> <P> Upon the selection of Canada--Mexico--United States bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the tournament will be the first to be hosted by more than two countries . Mexico becomes the first country to host three men's World Cups and its Estadio Azteca, should it be selected, will become the first stadium to stage three World Cup tournaments . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Host </Th> <Th> Continent </Th> <Th> Winner </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1930 </Td> <Td> Uruguay </Td> <Td> South America </Td> <Td> Uruguay </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1934 </Td> <Td> Italy </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Italy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1938 </Td> <Td> France </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Italy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1942 </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> Cancelled because of World War II * </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1946 </Td> <Td_colspan="3"> Cancelled because of World War II </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1950 </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> <Td> South America </Td> <Td> Uruguay </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1954 </Td> <Td> Switzerland </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1958 </Td> <Td> Sweden </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1962 </Td> <Td> Chile </Td> <Td> South America </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1966 </Td> <Td> England </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> England </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1970 </Td> <Td> Mexico </Td> <Td> North America </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1978 </Td> <Td> Argentina </Td> <Td> South America </Td> <Td> Argentina </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1982 </Td> <Td> Spain </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Italy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1986 </Td> <Td> Mexico </Td> <Td> North America </Td> <Td> Argentina </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1990 </Td> <Td> Italy </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1994 </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> North America </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1998 </Td> <Td> France </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> France </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2002 </Td> <Td> Japan South Korea </Td> <Td> Asia </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> Italy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> South Africa </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> Spain </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 </Td> <Td> Brazil </Td> <Td> South America </Td> <Td> Germany </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2018 </Td> <Td> Russia </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> France </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2022 </Td> <Td> Qatar </Td> <Td> Asia </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2026 </Td> <Td> Canada Mexico United States </Td> <Td> North America </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2030 </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2034 </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Host </Th> <Th> Continent </Th> <Th> Winner </Th> </Tr>
