My name is Jan Alsos and I'm the creator and webmaster of this site. It is created to honour
the greatest and most popular sporting event in the world. Lots of information and
statistics have been searched through and posted on this site. All this to make it your one-stop World Cup site.
For instance you can find background info of every tournament and complete
matchfacts of every game played in the World Cup since the start in 1930. We are in the process of
expanding that section even further. The content also includes player profiles of almost 70 of the most influential
players of the 17 World Cups held to this day and much, much more.
We hope you find what you're looking for here, otherwise
please mail us. We are here to answer any questions about the World Cup you might have.
I started to work on this site in September 1997 and had it online first
time in February 1998. It has been hosted by several other providers and under other names,
most recently World Cup Archive which we had to close in December 2002 because the network hosting the
site collapsed financially. Now we are independent and back with a new name, but with the same content.
I hope you will enjoy your stay here.
