第一届乌拉圭争得主办权美利坚借将爆冷门话说,六十多年前,国际足联为了反映世界足球运动的最高水平,做出决议举办一种世界级的足球大赛。一时间,意大利、荷兰、西班牙、瑞典和乌拉圭争相担当主办国。最后,乌拉圭以无可争辩的理由获此殊荣。乌拉圭的理由确实充分,其一,乌拉圭在1924、1928连续两届奥运会均获足球冠军,是公认的世界冠军。如果国际足联否决他们的要求,他们将拒绝参赛,这样首届世界杯大赛,将会失去光采,从而不能反映出世界足坛的最高水平。其二,1930年正值乌拉圭独立百年纪念,世界杯大赛在此举办无疑会为节日助兴增色。其三,乌拉圭慷慨解囊,负担参赛各队的旅费。于是,首届世界杯赛于1930年7月13日—30日在乌拉圭举行。共有13个队参赛:乌拉圭、阿根廷、秘鲁、美国、巴西、巴拉圭、玻利维亚、南斯拉夫、罗马尼亚、比利时、法国、墨西哥和智利。虽说当时乌拉圭 The first Uruguay to win the right to host the United States will be upsetting the United States will say that more than 60 years ago, FIFA to reflect the highest level of the world’s football, a resolution to hold a world-class football competition.

Second, in 1930, when Uruguay celebrated its centenary of independence, the World Cup was undoubtedly going to be a festival to promote and enrich the culture. Third, Uruguay generously paid the travel expenses for participating teams. The first World Cup was held in Uruguay on July 13-30, 1930. There are 13 teams participating: Uruguay, Argentina, Peru, the United States, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Belgium, France, Mexico and Chile. Although Uruguay at the time
