The 1930 FIFA World Cup was the inaugural edition of the world championship for international teams FIFA World Cup. It was played in Uruguay from 13 July to 30 July. FIFAselected Uruguay as host nation as the country would be celebrating the centennial of its independence, and the Uruguay national_football team had successfully retained their football title at the 1928 Summer Olympics. All matches were played in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo, the majority at the Estadio Centenario, which was built for the tournament. Thirteen teams, seven from South America, four from Europe and two from North America entered the tournament. Few European teams chose to participate due to the duration and cost of travel. The teams were divided into four groups, with the winner of each group progressing to the semi-finals. The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously, and were won by the French national football team and the United States men's national soccer team, who defeated the Mexico national football team 4-1 and the Belgium national football team 3-0, respectively. Lucien Laurent of France scored the first goal in World Cup history.

The Argentina national football team, Uruguay, the USA and the Yugoslavia national football team each won their respective groups to qualify for the semi-finals. In the final, hosts and pre-tournament favorites Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in front of a crowd of 93,000 people, and became the first nation to win a World Cup.
