HOME…
The 1st World Cup competition under the FIG, organised
by BAGA, was held at Wembley, London, Great Britain in 1975. Following London, World Cup competitions were organised in 1977
(Oviedo/ESP), 1978 (Sao Paolo/BRA), 1979 (Tokio, JAP), 1980 (Toronto,
CAN), 1982 (Zagreb, YUG), 1986 (Beijing/CHN)and 1990 (Brussels/BEL).
This is where “the old” history of the World Cup ends.

two year period of time, and a Final organised at the end of every even
year.
