FIFA Congress venues from 1904 to 2011

This is the first time that a FIFA Congress has been held in the Bahamas. Of the 66 FIFA Congresses
(including extraordinary Congresses) staged so far, 48 have been in Europe. The first Congress to be
organised outside Europe was in 1950 to coincide with the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, taking
advantage of the developments in transport and travel in the 1950s. Since then, the event has been
held in the host country in every World Cup year.
