| 1930 | Uruguay are crowned champions of the first FIFA World Cup in the Centenary Stadium in Montevideo. The hosts, with goals from Dorado, Cea, Iriarte and Castro were too strong for a spirited Argentina side, who despite goals from Peucelle and Stabile, lost out 4-2. |
| 1966 | Sir Bobby Moore, the English captain, received the Jules Rimet trophy from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II after leading his side to a 4-2 extra time win over West Germany in the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. |

| Burkina Faso reached the final of the 1999 African Youth Championship, just two years after the launch of their youth academy. |
| Marcel Desailly - France's most-capped footballer - is actually not from France at all. The strong central defender was born in Ghana. |
| On 16 June 1982, the 'El Molinon' stadium in Gijon was the scene of one of the biggest upsets of all time: rank outsiders Algeria, a total newcomer, took the lead against Germany, saw the ever-competitive northern Europeans draw level, and then, instead of collapsing, pulled out some extra resources and finally won 2:1. Belloumi's goal brought the African team a thoroughly deserved win over the double world champions. |
