Event 1930 FIFA World Cup Uruguay Argentina Date 30 July 1930 ( 1930 - 07 - 30 ) Venue Estadio Centenario, Montevideo Referee John Langenus ( Belgium ) Attendance 68,346 1934 → The 1930 FIFA World Cup Final was a football match contested by Uruguay and Argentina to determine the champion of the 1930 FIFA World Cup. The final was a rematch of the gold medal match of the 1928 Olympics, which Uruguay won after a replay. The final was played at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 30 July, a Wednesday. Up to date, it is, along with the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final, the only World Cup Final not to be played on a Sunday ( the latter being played on a Saturday ). This World Cup Final is also the only one not to be played on a weekend. The stadium gates were opened at eight o'clock, six hours before kick - off, and at noon the ground was full, officially holding 93,000 people. A disagreement overshadowed the build - up to the match as the teams disagreed on who should provide the match ball, forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide one for the second. The game ended 4 -- 2 to Uruguay after they trailed 2 -- 1 at half - time, adding the title of World Cup winners to their status as Olympic champions. Jules Rimet, president of FIFA, presented the Uruguayan team with the World Cup Trophy, which was later named after him. The following day was declared a national holiday in Uruguay ; in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires a mob threw stones at the Uruguayan consulate. The last living player from that final, Francisco Varallo ( who played as a striker for Argentina ), died on 30 August 2010.
