Bola.net – Based on history, the Uruguay National Team is one of the oldest countries in the World Cup. La Celeste is rarely absent in this football tournament every four years.
The 2022 World Cup will be Uruguay’s 14th appearance at this biggest football event. Uruguay won the first edition of the World Cup.
In the history of participation in the World Cup, the Uruguay national team has won twice, namely in 1930 and 1950.
On the other hand, according to FIFA rules, the national team can put as many stars on the jersey as the number of World Cup trophies. The reason is, the event is the biggest football tournament every four years in the world.
Brazil has become a country with a collection of World Cup trophies, namely five times. That is why, above the emblem of the Brazilian Football Federation, CBF, there are five stars.
Then, Germany and Italy became the two countries with four World Cup trophies. As a result, the two countries also include four stars above the logo.
Interestingly, the symbol on the Uruguay national team jersey has 4 stars, even though he has only won the World Cup twice. Why is that?
