Association football world champions
This article collects the national teams world champions FIFA. The two competitions that award said official[1] title are the two Olympic Tournaments of 1924 and 1928, organised by the IOC together FIFA and played with FIFA regulations (this olimpic games are featured on the World Federation website as FIFA tournaments)[2] and the current FIFA World Cup (from 1930).[3]
History[edit]
Uruguay in the international plane has attained two World Cup (the first edition of 1930 and the edition of 1950) and has won two Gold Medals in the Olympic Games (in 1924 and 1928), the two only editions recognised by FIFA as championships of the world.[4]
The decision took in 1924. The world federation, indeed, had established that if the Olympic tournaments were played according to the FIFA rules, they would be recognized as world championships (until the creation of the FIFA World Cup in 1930).[5]
Although the FIFA does not promote the statistical unification of the tournaments, the legitimacy of the titles also is confirmed by the fact that the world-wide federation allows to the National football team of Uruguay to show 4 stars in the game uniform with official authorization.[6] According to the regulation of the FIFA, each star is equivalent to a World Cup conquered therefore the Olympic titles of Uruguay are equated to the world titles of the World Cup.[7][8]
Another confirmation comes from of a book approved by the FIFA and that contains a section that certifies, with vintage official documents, the position of Uruguay as four times "World Champion of the FIFA".[3] In 2016, the book was re-presented in the presence of the FIFA President, Gianni Infantino.[9]
