The Uruguayan soccer team proudly wears four stars on its chest shield. Two are for the 1930 and 1950 World Cups, and another two for the titles won at the 1924 (Paris) and 1928 (Amsterdam) Olympic Games. The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) considers that with them he remembers four world titles, considering that the Olympic golds have the same value as if they had been in the World Cup, since this competition did not yet exist, and they also allowed it to become the organizer of the first official World Cup, in 1930.
But nevertheless, FIFA does not seem to agree, as confirmed by the sportswear brand Puma, technical sponsor of the Uruguay national team, has demanded that you remove two of the four stars from the shirt.
A position that has led the AUF to collect all possible documentation to prove the validity of your stars, of the four. “It is an opportunity for the purposes of regularizing the situations and if this has to give rise to an express knowledge, it is welcome”, shared federative sources.
In Uruguay they do not understand the position of FIFA, because in recent years it had never been against the four stars of the shield of its soccer team. In any case, the AUF you do not plan to modify your shirt when Uruguay has the South American qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup 2022 just around the corner.
