Uruguay at the FIFA World Cup - wikipedia Uruguay at the FIFA World Cup Uruguay fans at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia This is a record of Uruguay 's results at the FIFA World Cup. Uruguay have won four FIFA - organized World Football Championships. They won the first World Championship organized by FIFA under the Olympic Committee umbrella with true representation from all continents ; before then, football in the Olympics comprised only European teams ). Uruguay then won the next two World Championships ( Jules Rimet Trophy ) in which they participated ; these tournaments, the 1930 and 1950 FIFA World Cups, were fully independent from the Olympics and employed clear rules distinguishing professional and amateur football players. Since 1924 marked the beginning of true international football competition, organized by FIFA, FIFA recognizes Uruguay as four - time world champions and allows the team to wear four stars on their uniforms during official international football competitions. ( Before 1974, the FIFA World Cup was referred to as the Football World Championship, and the nine champions from 1930 to 1970 received replicas of the Jules Rimet Trophy. Uruguay hosted and won the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, beating Argentina 4 -- 2 in the final. They won their fourth and last title in 1950, upsetting host Brazil 2 -- 1 in the final match. The team have qualified for twelve World Cups, reaching the second round in all but three, the semifinals five times, and the finals twice. They also won the gold medal in Olympic football twice, in 1924 and 1928, before the creation of the World Cup. Uruguay won the 1980 Mundialito, a tournament comprising former World Cup champions hosted in Uruguay to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first World Championship. Uruguay is one of the most successful teams in the world, having won 19 FIFA official titles : 2 World Championships, 2 Olympic Games, and 15 Copa América championships. Uruguay refused to participate in 1934 and defend their title because many European nations declined to take part in 1930 held in Uruguay. They also refused to enter in 1938 because FIFA 's decision to hold the tournament in France caused outrage in South America where it was believed that the venue would alternate between the two continents.

The tournament winner was decided by a final round - robin group contested by four teams ( Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain ). However, Uruguay 's 2 -- 1 victory over Brazil ( a match known as Maracanazo ) was the decisive match ( and also coincidentally one of the last two matches of the tournament ) which put them ahead on points and ensured that they finished top of the group as world champions. Therefore, this match is often considered the `` final '' of the 1950 World Cup `` WC Finals 1950 '' ( pdf ). ( 150 KiB ). Likewise, Sweden 's 3 -- 1 victory over Spain ( played at the same time as Uruguay vs Brazil ) ensured that they finished third. ^ Jump up to : This is one of several goals for which the statistical details are disputed.
