Highlights of the 1994 World Cup. www.footballworldcupbrazil2014.com In an attempt to stimulate interest in "soccer" FIFA chose the United States as a stage for the largest sporting event in the world. The 1994 World Cup was held outside of Europe or South America for the very first time in its history. Hosting the World Cup was seen as a good marketing move for the future birth of Major League Soccer. The results were below expectation. Surveys taken just weeks before the tournament showed that an overwhelming majority of Americans had no clue that the USA was hosting the cup and most did not even plan to watch it.
