It is characterized by the success of the Uruguay won two consecutive gold medals in the implementation of the summer Olympics. The second medal was earned at the Olympic Games in 1924 and 1928. And in recognition of his accomplishments that were achieved by Uruguay, the country was chosen as the organizer of the first World Cup held in 1930.

The idea put forward by Henry Delauney is basically very simple. In his idea, Delauney want to increase the frequency of matches between countries in the European region.
