Which country hosted the first FIFA World Cup?

Correct option is C

The Correct answer is (c) Uruguay

The first FIFA World Cup was hosted by Uruguay in 1930. FIFA, the international governing body of football, decided to organize a global tournament in 1928, and Uruguay was chosen as the host nation for the inaugural edition. The decision was influenced by Uruguay’s success in the 1924 and 1928 Olympic Games in football, as well as the country’s centenary of independence in 1930.

The tournament took place from 13 July to 30 July 1930, with 13 teams participating—7 from South America, 4 from Europe, and 2 from North America. The final match was played between Uruguay and Argentina, where Uruguay won 4-2 and became the first-ever FIFA World Cup champion.
