Japan have appeared in the finals of the FIFA World Cup on six occasions, the first being in 1998 where they lost all three group games and finished in 31st position. The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month.
The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 19, due to World War II. The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA), the sport's global governing body. For the women soccer team, see Japan at the FIFA Women's World Cup.
