World Cup History

The idea for a World Cup Soccer Championship was developed by the president of FIFA at the time, Jules Rimet. Planning for the first event began in 1926 with the idea to have the FIFA World Cup in between the Olympic Games. This original concept doesn't work as well now with the staggered hosting of the Winter and Summer Games, but nonetheless it was a good idea.

With the help of other officials, Rimet organized the first event for 1930. The first FIFA World Cup was the only event to not include the modern qualifying rounds. The European teams involved were France, Belgium, Yugoslavia and Romania. Many other European teams were dissatisfied with the location and refused to travel the distance to Uruguay.

There were a total of 13 teams in the first world cup. The remaining countries besides the host Uruguay were Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Mexico and the United States.

The first World Cup Soccer match kicked off on July 13th, 1930 with France beating Mexico 4 to 1, thus beginning a long, rich history of world cup action.

The original FIFA World Cup Trophy was named the Jules Rimet Cup after its president and main World Cup organizer.
