Why only football has the World Cup, and other sports only have the World Championships?

Because football is the first sport in the world, the following is a detailed explanation of Baidu Encyclopedia. 1928 After the Olympic Games, FIFA held a representative meeting and unanimously adopted the resolution to hold the World Football Championship every four years. This has played a positive role in promoting the further development and improvement of world football. At first, this new football game was called "World Football Championship". 1956, FIFA decided to change its name to "Rimet Cup" at its meeting in Luxemburg. This is in recognition of Rimet, a Frenchman and former FIFA president, for his achievements in football. Rimet has been the president of FIFA for 33 years (192 1- 1954), and is the initiator and organizer of the World Football Championship. Later, it was suggested that the two names be linked, called "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup". Therefore, the Helsinki Conference decided to change its name to "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup" or "World Cup" for short. As for "How can the World Cup represent football?" I think this sentence is strictly wrong. For the west, the influence of the World Cup cannot replace the influence of the European Cup and the European Cup. People think of football when they talk about the World Cup, but football can't simply take the World Cup as an example. I think it is the World Cup represented by football. "Table tennis, gymnastics, water carrying and skating (diving) are obviously less influential than football, which can only be said to be the only explanation. The following is my simple analysis: football has a great influence and a huge number of fans. The football World Cup is naturally widely publicized, with many people like it and high market returns. The Football Association has funds to invest in the promotion of the World Cup. I think that's the reason. There are not enough funds and fans for other sports to want. It is impossible to promote your own brand with the World Cup. Moreover, the World Cup has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Most other competitions are based on the World Championships and the Olympic Games. " Why do you call the World Cup the Football World Cup? "I don't think anyone will deliberately call the World Cup the Football World Cup except for the sake of easy distinction.
