* As the highest football authority, FIFA made its claim as the organizers of the competition
* 1920’s – French football administrators, including Jules Rimet, are credited with bringing together the world’s strongest national teams to compete for a world championship of football.
* Decided that 1930 would be the first international competition for the what was being called the “World Cup” and “La Coupe de Monde”
* Much debate as to who would host first World Cup
