Uruguay. Origin of the World Cup:
On May 21, 1904, the first president of FIFA, the Frenchman Robert Gaelan, presented this idea for the first time to the leaders of national football and instructed its secretary-general, the Dutchman Hilschmann, to draw up a document for the occasion. However, due to the small number of countries that expressed their willingness to participate, and because of political and sports discord, the plan was aborted.
After the end of the First World War, Hule Remet, the founder of the Paris Red Star team, was elected president of FIFA, and he resumed the stalled project. He did a great deal of persuasion to the leaders of the world of football, and tried to prove that a world football competition could go hand in hand with the Olympic Games founded by Baron de Coubertin, and that it could flourish.
In 1925, in a hotel in Brussels, the Uruguayan diplomat Bouero officially expressed his support for Remet on behalf of the two-time Olympic football champion Uruguay, which played no small role at the time.
On December 10, 1926, FIFA convened a working meeting in Paris, which was attended by representatives from Switzerland, Hungary, France, Austria, Germany and many other countries. Four months later, the draft of the meeting was submitted to the national football associations. On June 5, 1927, at the FIFA conference in Helsinki, the Paris work conference was adopted by 23 votes in favor and 5 against (the Nordic countries abstained from voting (Germany).
In 1926, at the FIFA Luxembourg Conference, the name of the tournament was changed to "Remet Cup" in recognition of the great contribution of the former FIFA president, the Frenchman Remet, to the cause of football. Later, it was suggested that the two names should be joined together and called "World Football Championship - Remet Cup"; Finally, at the meeting of representatives in Helsinki, it was finally renamed the "World Football Championship Cup - Remet Cup", or "World Cup" for short. It is held every four years.
The first World Cup was held in Uruguay from July 13 to July 30, 1930.
Because Uruguay was one of the first countries to carry out football, and won two consecutive Olympic football championships in 1924 and 1928, and in 1930, which coincided with the 100th anniversary of Uruguay's independence, it was decided that the first World Cup would be held in Uruguay.
A total of 13 countries will participate in this World Cup, including 9 South American countries and 4 European countries. Hosts Uruguay won the title with a four-match winning record. Argentina's Stabile was the top scorer with eight goals.
The first goal was created by Frenchman Lucien Laurent.

After the 1928 Olympic Games, FIFA convened a meeting of delegates and unanimously passed a resolution to hold the quadrennial World Football Championship. This has played a positive role in promoting the further development and improvement of world football. Initially, this new football tournament was called the "World Football Championship".
In 1956, FIFA held a meeting in Luxembourg and decided to change the name to the "Remet Cup". This is in recognition of the achievements of former FIFA President Frenchman Rimet for football. Remet served as president of FIFA for 33 years (1921-1954) and was the initiator and organizer of the World Football Championship.
Later, it was suggested that the two names should be combined and called "World Football Championship - Remet Cup". As a result, at the Helsinki meeting, it was decided to change the name to the "World Football Championship - Remet Cup", or "World Cup" for short.
