🏆 Correct! Uruguay was the first country to host the FIFA World Cup in 1930. The tournament was held in Montevideo, and it marked the beginning of what would become the most prestigious competition in international football. FIFA selected Uruguay to host the inaugural tournament as a celebration of the country's footballing strength and its centennial of independence. Only 13 teams participated—seven from South America, four from Europe, and two from North America. The final took place at the Estadio Centenario, where Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 to claim the first-ever World Cup title. The success of the 1930 World Cup established the blueprint for future tournaments, setting a foundation for global football's premier event. Uruguay’s dual legacy as both host and champion of the inaugural tournament secures its place in the sport’s history and makes it the correct answer here.
