It is contested by the men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body . The tournament has taken place every four years, except in 1942 and 1946, when the competition was cancelled due to World War II . The most recent World Cup, hosted by Russia in 2018, was won by France, who beat Croatia 4--2 in regulation time . </P> <P> The World Cup final match is the last of the competition, and the result determines which country is declared world champions . If after 90 minutes of regular play the score is a draw, an additional 30 - minute period of play, called extra time, is added . If such a game is still tied after extra time, it is then decided by a penalty shoot - out . The team winning the penalty shoot - out are then declared champions . The tournament has been decided by a one - off match on every occasion except 1950, when the tournament winner was decided by a final round - robin group contested by four teams (Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain). Uruguay's 2--1 victory over Brazil was the decisive match (and one of the last two matches of the tournament) which put them ahead on points and ensured that they finished top of the group as world champions . Therefore, this match is regarded by FIFA as the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup . </P>
