World Cup archive
Uruguay hosted and won the very first World Cup in 1930. Four gold stars sit above their crest — two for the World Cups, two for the Olympic football titles of 1924 and 1928 that FIFA has acknowledged as equivalent world championships. For a nation of fewer than four million people, that record is unmatched.

Two stars represent the 1930 and 1950 World Cup wins. The other two represent the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football gold medals, which FIFA recognises as world championships.
Uruguay play in sky blue — known as celeste — which gives the national team its nickname, La Celeste.
