1966 FIFA WORLD CUP - England

The 1966 FIFA World Cup™, the eighth staging of the World Cup, was held in England from July 11 to July 30. England was chosen as hosts by FIFA in August 1960 to celebrate the centenary of the codification of football in England. England won the final, beating West Germany 4-2, giving them their first (and only) World Cup triumph, and becoming the first host to win the tournament since Italy won it in 1934.

A total of 32 matches were in England. The tournament provided some epic games including Portugal's incredible 5-3 quarter-final victory against North Korea and England's memorable 4-2 triumph against West Germany in the final.
