The FIFA World Cup is probably the world's biggest sport event, viewed by over 1 BILLION people worldwide, but how did it begin, and why did a tiny South American country, Uruguay, get the honor of hosting its first ever edition? In this episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories Podcast, we travel all the way back to the late 1920s, when preparations were just starting for the first ever FIFA World Cup, and discover why the United Kingdom (and England, especially) ended up feeling bitter about this competition. Also, we learn about the legendary Jules Rimet, and why the first version of the World Cup trophy was dedicated to him. Enjoy the history of this wonderful sporting event while learning Spanish with our latest episode! Transcript of this episode is available at: https://podcast.lingomastery.com/listen/4539
