What are FIFA World Cup 1930 records?

There were no qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 1930 in Uruguay, making it an invitational tournament with every FIFA-affiliated country invited to play. It was the first and last time in FIFA World Cup history that no qualifiers took place.

The first two matches at the FIFA World Cup - a Group 1 fixture between France and Mexico and a Group 4 opener between USA and Belgium - were played concurrently on July 13, 1930.

French striker Lucien Laurent scored the first goal in FIFA World Cup history, courtesy of his 19th-minute opener against Mexico. France won that match by a 4-1 margin.

USA’s Jimmy Douglas and Bert Patenaude became respectively the first goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet and the player to score the first hat-trick at the FIFA World Cup.

Argentina’s Guillermo Stabile went on to top score in the tournament with eight goals.

Alberto Horacio Suppici, who was the Uruguay coach at the time, was only 31 when he led his team to the 1930 FIFA World Cup title. To date, he holds the record for being the youngest coach ever to win a football World Cup.

The last surviving participant of the inaugural FIFA World Cup final in 1930 was an Argentine forward Francisco “Pancho” Varallo, who died at the age of 100 in 2010.
