FIFA World Cup
The 1950 FIFA World Cup, held in Brazil from 24
June to 16 July 1950, was the fourth FIFA
World Cup. It was the first World Cup since 1938, the planned 1942 and 1946
competitions having been cancelled owing to World
War II. It was won by Uruguay, who had won the inaugural
competition in 1930, clinching the cup by beating the hosts Brazil 2–1 in the deciding match of
the four-team final group (this was the only tournament not decided by a
one-match final). It was also the first tournament where the trophy was
referred to as the Jules Rimet Cup, to mark the 25th anniversary of
Jules
Rimet's presidency of FIFA.
