The first ever FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup is the competition with the largest number of followers from all over the world. Despite being of only one sport, it is even capable of surpassing the Olympic Games in terms of popularity. Currently, it has excellent games, and lots of opportunities to enjoy by making a 1xBet login, which can be done from all over the world. The first edition of the tournament was in 1930, and it was completely different from how the competition is currently seen.

The 1930 edition of the FIFA World Cup wasn’t the first worldwide football competition. In fact, football between nations from all over the world was already being played in the Olympic Games. But, FIFA at the time wanted to have their own competition, which could be completely independent of the Olympics.

This edition was quite different from the modern editions due to a number of reasons. First, there was no qualification process. Instead, all FIFA members, which were only very few countries back then, were invited to send teams of their own to participate in the tournament. However, as surprising as this might be, not all invited countries were very enthusiastic about the idea of participating in the competition.

Right now, all countries in the world fight until the last minute to claim a spot in the different FIFA World Cup editions. This gives rise to excellent qualifiers. All of them are available by making a login on 1xBet, therefore, it is a bit shocking to think that at some moment, this competition wasn’t that attractive.

How did the tournament go

It was decided that Uruguay would host the 1930 FIFA World Cup. This meant that South American teams showed great interest in participating in the tournament. However, European nations didn’t seem to be too thrilled about the prospect of traveling for many weeks by ship to the country. Of course, now teams from South America, Europe and the rest of the world offer great chances at the 1xBet mobile application and website.

FIFA president at that time, Jules Rimet, was determined to make the competition a truly worldwide one. Because of this, he managed to convince four European teams to travel to Uruguay. They were:

• Yugoslavia;
• Romania;
• Belgium;
• and France.

There were many great games in the competition. However, none of them were as attractive as the great final. This contest faced cross-river rivals Uruguay and Argentina. Even now, they offer great chances to wager at the mobile 1xBet platform. Back then, they also offered legendary matches. Eventually, the hosts defeated the Argentinians 2-1, claiming the first ever FIFA World Cup title. The Uruguayan goals were scored by Dorado, Cea, Iriarte, and Castro. The Argentinian goals were scored by Peucelle and Stábile.
