World Cup Final 2014 Germany Argentina
For the inaugural World Cup, Summer Olympics football champions Uruguay were selected as hosts after the longest-serving FIFA President ever – Frenchman Jules Rimet – sought to organise a tournament to crown the great country in world football. Due to travel issues in reaching South America, only 13 countries entered overall, over half of which from the continent. The final pitted Uruguay against bitter rivals Argentina, with an official attendance of nearly 100,000 signalling the early popularity of soccer’s greatest showcase. Uruguay came from 2-1 down to win 4-2, and were crowned the first-ever World champions. Benito Mussolini’s Italy was awarded the hosting rights of the second World Cup ahead of Sweden.
