1930 - Uruguay
The first FIFA World Cup was staged in 1930. The tournament was played in Uruguay, the Olympic champions at the time, since they were celebrating the centenary of their independence. As well as being the first ever hosts, Uruguay also became the inaugural champions, beating Argentina in the final, 4 – 2.
The first World Cup was the only one without qualification, as teams were invited (every country affliated with FIFA was invited). Due to the long and costly trip across the Atlantic, very few European teams chose to participate; two months before the tournament started, no team from that continent had officially entered. FIFA's president, Jules Rimet, intervened, along with the Uruguayan government, which promised to pay the travel expenses of any travelling European team. Eventually four European teams made the three-week sea trip: Belgium, France, Romania, and Yugoslavia.

It was in Uruguay in 1930.
No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup™. Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige.
