World Cup History
The FIFA World Cup was first organized in 1930, when FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to organize an international soccer tournament. The first World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930, was contested as a tournament final consisting of only 13 teams invited by the organization. They consist of 6 countries from South America, 5 from Europe and 2 from North America.
This World Cup took place when European countries were experiencing an economic depression. This made many European footballers worry about losing their jobs when returning from the Uruguay tournament.
As a result, several of Europe's top teams, including three-time Olympic gold medalists Britain and football fans from Italy, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands, did not compete in the inaugural World Cup.
However, it turned out that Uruguay dared to bear the cost of his trip. Rimet then convinced Belgium, France, Romania and Yugoslavia to participate in the tournament.
For Romania itself, their leader, King Carol, personally chose the members of the departing team. He also promised the athletes a three-month holiday and guaranteed their jobs when they returned.
In this historic match, Uruguay beat Argentina 4-2 in front of 93,000 spectators and won its first World Cup title.
