The 1930 World Cup

Step back in time with World Cup Rewind: 1930, the first episode in our brand-new series exploring every tournament in World Cup history. In this deep-dive podcast, we break down the very first FIFA World Cup, hosted by Uruguay, and uncover how the foundations of modern football were built.

We explore why Uruguay became hosts, how the Estadio Centenario was constructed for the tournament, and the political tensions that shaped the competition. We analyse the best matches, including Argentina’s 6–3 thriller vs Mexico and the dramatic Uruguay vs Argentina final, where the hosts completed an iconic 4–2 comeback.

Hear all about the tournament’s biggest stars — José Nasazzi, Héctor Scarone and Golden Boot winner Guillermo Stábile — plus the best goals, tactical trends, and controversies such as the European boycott and the famous two-ball final.

We close with a look at the tournament’s legacy, how Uruguay became the first world champions, and why the 1930 World Cup still shapes football today.

Perfect for fans of football history, classic tournaments, and deep-dive analysis.
