96 years ago: Uruguay defeated Argentina to claim the inaugural FIFA World Cup
On July 30, 1930, the first FIFA World Cup final was held in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, featuring hosts Uruguay against Argentina. Despite being down 2-1 at the break, Uruguay rallied to secure a 4-2 victory. Uruguay's head coach, Alberto Suppici, was just 31 at the time, a record for the youngest manager to lead a team to a World Cup title that remains unbroken today.
