History of The FIFA World Cup

The Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles did not plan to include football as it was not much popular in the United States. FIFA president Jules Rimet thus set about organizing the World Cup tournament. In the first FIFA, World Cup total of 13 nations took part – seven from South America, four from Europe, and two from North America. The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously and were won by France and the United States, who beat Mexico 4–1 and Belgium 3–0, respectively.
