(~~)\nThe 1954 Football World Cup was held in Switzerland. In the same FIFA conference where Brazil were allocated as hosts of the 1950 Football World Cup, and as the year saw the 50th anniversary of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), it seemed like a good idea for football's premier competition to be played in the home of its governing body. The tournament was won by West Germany, who upset Hungary 3-2 in the final. It was Germany's first World Cup victory.

As for the first World Cup (1930) only 13 countries participated. It was held in Uraguay and there were no qualification matches - teams were merely invited to take part. Many european countries declined the invitation because of the travelling distance and transport facilities weren't as efficient as they are today. The top scorer was Guillermo Stábile of Argentina with 8 goals. The first scorer of a World Cup goal however was scored by Lucien Laurent, of France, in the 19th minute of their opening game. \n\nUraguay won the tournament.\n\nPrize money for the World Cup has recently been increased for the impending tournament. The winners of the tournament in Germany will walk away with 24.5 million Swiss francs (£10.7m), more than double the total for the 2002 World Cup, while every qualifying nation will pocket a minimum of seven million Swiss francs (£3m). Needless to say prize money increases the further the nation progresses through the tournament. Specific amounts awarded to each country will be known after the World Cup.
