Which country won the first-ever FIFA World Cup?

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C — CONCEPT: The FIFA World Cup is association football's premier international tournament, held periodically since 1930 to crown the sport's world champion nation. Any inaugural edition of a recurring tournament has both a host country and a champion, and those are the two facts this question is really testing. APPLICATION: The inaugural FIFA World Cup took place in 1930 in Uruguay. Uruguay was chosen as host in recognition of its back-to-back Olympic football titles in 1924 and 1928, and to mark the centenary of its first constitution. In the final, held at the newly built Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, host nation Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 to become the first-ever FIFA World Cup champion. CROSS-CHECK / CONTRAST: Country Why it isn't the first champion Mexico Hosted the World Cup twice (1970 and 1986) but has never won the title. Brazil Most successful World Cup nation with five titles, but its first came only in 1958 — nearly three decades after the first tournament. France Won the World Cup in 1998 and 2018, both far later than the tournament's 1930 debut.
