Animated Maps: Every World Soccer Championship Since 1930

The World Soccer Championship reappears every four years, as much a geopolitical mega-event as it is an athletic contest. You may (or may not) know that 78 nations have qualified for the tournament since 1930. But can you name the nation with the winningest record by matches? Or the one with the highest ratio of red cards? Watch and learn.

This animated map was made using Esri’s ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro.
