competition except for Olympics• As the highest football authority, FIFA made its claim as the

organizers of the competition• 1920’s – French football administrators, including Jules Rimet, are

credited with bringing together the world’s strongest national teams to compete for a world championship of football.

• Decided that 1930 would be the first international competition for the what was being called the “World Cup” and “La Coupe de Monde”

• Much debate as to who would host first World Cup– FIFA felt it necessary for the first host nation to pay for travel

expenses of all referees and national teams; a clearly expensive proposition, but many European and South American nations showed interest; the likes of football powerhouses: Italy, Spain, Holland, Hungary, Sweden and Uruguay
