World CUP
FIFA entertained the first international soccer championship in the year of 1906. Though, the competition was not very rewarding! Soon after few days, the organization suffered a financial loss, and this exclusively led to the replacement of Robert Guerin by Daniel Burley Woolfall as president.
In the year of 1908, Daniel Burley Woolfall led FIFA’s participation in Olympics. This was much more rewarding than the first attempt at FIFA. In the federation, there were only European countries at first. However, in the year of 1909, South Africa came in, which was exclusively followed by Chile and Argentina in the next three years. Then after a year, Canada and USA also signed the federation pact.
