1982 FIFA WORLD CUP - Spain

The 1982 FIFA World Cup, the 12th staging of the World Cup, was held in Spain from June 13 to July 11. Spain was chosen as hosts by FIFA in July 1966. This World Cup was won by Italy, who beat West Germany 3-1 in the final. With its third World Cup title (after 1934 and 1938), Italy drew level with Brazil as the most successful nations at the World Cup.

This World Cup was marked by a series of great matches and is widely regarded as the second-best ever after the legendary 1970. This was also the first World Cup to feature 24 teams, an expansion from at most 16 in the previous tournaments.

A total of 52 matches were played in Spain. The tournament provided some epic games including West Germany's semi-final defeat of France and Italy's memorable 3-2 victory against Brazil. Rossi (ITA) finished top-scorer guiding Italy to their third FIFA World Cup™ triumph.
