Although there was FIFA as early as 1904, there was no international football match in the next 20 years. At the Olympic Games held in Paris from 65438 to 0924, football became an official event, and Uruguay beat Switzerland to win the championship. 1928 On May 26th, the FIFA Congress was held in Amsterdam. At the meeting, a resolution was passed to hold a new tournament in 1930, which will be open to all FIFA member units. At the meeting held in Barcelona, Olympic champion Uruguay was chosen as the host country of the first World Cup.

1930, the first World Cup was held in Uruguay, and the competition was held in the same city, Montevideo, where there were three stadiums. * * * There are 13 teams, namely Argentina, Paraguay, Belgium, Bolivia, Romania, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, USA, France, Yugoslavia, Mexico and Peru.

Although there were many strong teams in European football at that time, due to the distance and the economic crisis in Europe at that time, only four teams finally participated in the World Cup.

The first World Cup was not qualified. The teams invited by 13 were directly divided into four groups, and the lottery ceremony was held only after they arrived in Uruguay. The tournament has played 18 games, with 70 goals, averaging 3.88 goals per game.

France defeated Mexico 4-/Kloc-0-0 in the opening match, becoming the first team to win the World Cup, and Frenchman Laurent scored the first goal in the history of the World Cup.

Uruguay advanced to the finals with the help of the host country, and its opponent was Argentina, a neighboring country on the South American continent. Uruguay fell behind 1-2 in the first half, but finally won 4-2 and became the winner of the first World Cup. Rimet, then president of FIFA, presented the Uruguayan team captain Nasasi with the Gold Cup, which is 30cm high and weighs 4kg, all made of pure gold and designed by Frenchman Ralph Ruhr. Uruguay won the championship, which enabled the team to win the Olympic football championship in 1924 and 1928, thus completing the "unification" of the Olympic and World Cup champions in the country.

Argentine player Staby Le became the top scorer with eight goals, and he was also elected as the best player in this World Cup.
