Australia has played in the most final matches (six out of ten: 1975, 1987, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007). Englandis the only team to reach the final and not win the World Cup, ending as runner-up in all three final appearances. [ 8 ] [ 9 ]The first three matches were 60 oversa side, the ones thereafter have been reduced to 50 overs a side. Nineteen different nations have qualified for the finals of the Cricket World Cup at least once in the ten tournaments held to-date; seven of those teams have competed in every tournament and five different winners have shared the ten titles. [ 10 ]Seven venues have hosted the final: Lord's Cricket Groundis the only one to have hosted multiple finals, those of 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999. [ 11 ]India is the only country that has hosted a World Cup final at more than one venue, Eden Gardensin 1987 and Wankhede Stadiumin 2011. History Lord's has hosted the final four times. The inaugural ICC Cricket World Cup final was held on 21 June 1975 at Lord's, contested by Australia and the West Indies. A man of the matchperformance, [ 12 ]including a centuryfrom West Indian captain Clive Lloydcoming in to bat at number five with his team 50/3, [ 13 ]formed the basis of a 149-run fourth-wicket partnership with Rohan Kanhai. [ 14 ] Keith Boyceadded a quick 34 and the Australians were set a target of 292 to win in a 60-ovJjhlj er encounter. In reply, Alan Turnerhit 40 from 54 deliveriesand Australian captain Ian Chappellscored 62 from 93 balls. Australia "contributed to their own destruction" in an innings with five run outs, and the West Indies were crowned the first cricket world champions, winning by 17 runs. [ 15 ]Four years later, the West Indies qualified for the final once again, this time facing England, hosted at Lord's for the second consecutive tournament. An unbeaten 138 from Viv Richards, and support from Collis Kingin a 139-run partnership for the fifth wicket, [ 16 ]saw the West Indies set England a target of 287 runs to win in 60 overs. [ 17 ]A profitable yet slow opening partnership between Mike Brearleyand Geoffrey Boycott(the latter taking 17 overs to reach double figures) [ 18 ]saw England to 129. However, following Brearley's dismissal, only Graham Goochand Derek Randallmade a "brief assault" on the West Indian bowling, [ 18 ]before a batting collapse, Joel Garnertaking five wickets in eleven balls. [ 19 ]England ended 194 all out, and presented the West Indies with their second consecutive title, winning by 92 runs. [ 18 ] The third World Cup final in June 1983, once again hosted at Lord's, was the West Indies' third consecutive final. On this occasion, they faced India in front of 24,609 spectators. [ 20 ] Sunil Gavaskarwas dismissed early in the innings for two runs, and only Kris Srikkanthscored more than thirty; [ 21 ] Andy Robertstook three wickets for the West Indies leaving India all out for 183. [ 21 ]Following the dismissals of Viv Richards, Desmond Haynesand Larry Gomesby Madan Lalfor six runs between them, the West Indies collapsed to 140 all out, handing the title to India by 43 runs. [ 20 ]India and Pakistan co-hosted the 1987 tournament; the final was held at Eden Gardensin Kolkatabetween Australia and England, both appearing for the second time and vying for their first title. Australia won the toss and elected to bat first; David Boonscored 75 runs from 125 deliveries, while Mike Velettamade a rapid 45 from 31 deliveries taking Australia to a total of 253/5 by the close of play, this time after 50 overs. [ 22 ]In front of around 70,000 spectators, England's middle order of Bill Athey, Mike Gattingand Allan Lambprovided some resistance, but with 17 runs required in the final over to win, England fell short and lost by 7 runs.

It is one of six continental confederations of world football's governing bodyFIFA. UEFA consists of fifty-four national associationsmembers. UEFA represents the national football associations of Europe, runs nation and club competitions including theUEFA European Championship,UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, andUEFA Super Cup, and controls the prize money, regulations and media rights to those competitions. UEFA was founded on 15 June 1954 inBaselafter consultation between the Italian, French, and Belgian associations. Initially, the European football union consisted of 25 members which number doubled by the early 1990s. UEFA membership coincides for the most part with recognition as a sovereign country in Europe, although there some exceptions. Some micro states, (e.g. the Vatican City) are not members. Some UEFA members are not sovereign states, but form part of a larger recognised sovereign state in the context of international law. Examples include England, (part of the United Kingdom) or the Faroe Islands, (part of Denmark) however in the context of these countries government functions concerning sport tend to be carried at the territorial level coterminous with the UEFA member entity. Some UEFA members are transcontinental states, (e.g. Turkey). Several Asian countries were also admitted to the European football association, particularly Israel and Kazakhstan, which had been members of the Asian football association. Additionally some UEFA member associations allow teams from outside their association's main territory to take part in their"domestic"competition, Monaco for example take part in the French League, (in a different sovereign entity) and Berwick participate in the Scottish League, (whilst in the same sovereign entity, the United Kingdom, Berwick is located in England and not Scotland). Until 1959 the main headquarters were located inParis, and later inBern. Since 1995, UEFA headquarters transferred toNyon, Switzerland.Henri Delaunaywas the first General Secretary andEbbe Schwartzthe firstpresident. The current president isMichel Platini.
