Do you know when the first World Cup was held? Do you know where it was held? Do you know who won the first FIFA World Cup match?
As the 2022 World Cup is underway in Qatar – the first time the soccer tournament has been held in the Middle East – we decided to take a brief look back at the tournament's history.
According to FIFA's website, the first World Cup tournament was held in 1930 – 92 years ago – and entirely within the city of Montevideo, Uruguay's capital. There were four teams in the first tournament – Argentina, Uruguay, the United States of America, and Yugoslavia – who reportedly played in an "unfinished stadium."
