WORLD CUP (cont.)
1/ In 1904 representatives from seven European soccer associations (France, Belgium,
Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland) organized a governing
body for soccer, called the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
2/ By the mid-1930s, the major European countries had become interested—except for
the British Isles.
3/ In 1930 the first World Cup tournament was held in Uruguay.
4/ At that first meeting, FIFA planned to organize a world championship, but 26 years
passed before conditions were suitable.
5/ Despite being shunned by the stronger European nations, the tournament was a
financial success and excited international interest.
6/ England, Scotland, and Wales, which field separate national soccer teams, were not
members of FIFA and refused to take part in the World Cup.
7/ Among other considerations, FIFA determined that the level of play was sufficient
outside of Europe to support a world championship.
8/ The World Cup proved so popular that 36 nations entered the 1938 tournament, and
preliminary elimination games were played to decide the 16 finalists.
9/ Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's fascist regime organized the 1934 tournament in
Italy, which the host nation won.
10/ It was won by the host nation with a victory over Argentina in the final.


11/ France hosted the 1938 tournament, and Italy repeated as champion.
12/ In addition, professional leagues had evolved so that the Olympic Games, then
restricted to amateur athletes, no longer represented the highest level of competition in
the world.
