FIFA decided to have a real World Championship for Soccer. Up until this time the Olympic soccer tourney was the world championship. Uruguay agreed to host the first one in 1930 to help celebrate the 100th year anniversary of there Independence. Because this was the first one just about any country that wanted to could participate. There were no elimination match. Many European countries did not participate because back then a trip to south America was a very very long boat trip Some of the first countries to participate were Uruguay Argentina Romania and the United States ( Who made it to the semifinals) The final match was Uruguay against Argentina and Uruguay won.

The first world cup was held in 1930.
It was a competition started by a French man called Jules Rimet, who was the president of FIFA at the time.
The original trophy, which is held for ever by Brazil because they won it three times, was named the Jules Rimet Trophy in his honour.
