The word 'for' is not correct here. The best way to say this is:
"The world cup takes place every four years."
The word 'for' is used in a different sentence:
"The world cup will not take place again 'for' four years."
"The world cup 'does' take place every four years." is only correct if it is in response to another statement or question or if you are confirming that it is true. Here is an example conversation:
A: "I think the world cup takes place every four years."
B: "No, it takes place every three years."
A: "I'll check the internet. Ah, it 'does' take place every four years!"
But usually, the correct way to say it is "The world cup takes place every four years."
I hope this isn't too confusing!
