## Resource

In our first file, we travel back to Uruguay, 1930 — where the story of the FIFA World Cup began. Thirteen teams, three stadiums, and one bold idea: to bring the football world together for the first time. But the first World Cup was far more than goals and glory. It was filled with long journeys, fierce rivalries, controversial decisions, unlikely heroes, and a final that lit up both sides of the River Plate. In Episode 1: Uruguay 1930 , we uncover how the World Cup was born, why Uruguay became the perfect stage, and how one tournament changed football history forever. Strap in. History never played it safe.
