SEJARAH WORLD CUP EVENT YANG MEMBUAT FIFA MENDAPAT PENGAKUAN DUNIA DAN EKSIS HINGGA SEKARANG

So, in mid-1904, Carl Anton Hirschman, accompanied by two colleagues, visited London to meet Frederick Wall. There, he explained that their group wanted to create a football federation that would encompass all European countries. As a tribute to the country that had given birth to football, they would appoint Lord Kinnaird, then-President of the FA, as president of their federation. Frederick Wall, however, dismissed the idea. As the country that invented football, he felt there was no need for a football association. He flatly dismissed the men who would later become the founders of FIFA. Jules Rimet did this not only to genuinely express his opinion but also to create a sensationalism to get FIFA started. Up until that point, FIFA had still been largely ignored, even though football had advanced so rapidly that even South American clubs were competing to convert to professional football. Jules Rimet encouraged his colleagues to seize the opportunity. He proposed creating a World Cup involving every team in the world. The idea was still considered crazy by his colleagues. #truestoryline #cinetalk #footballhistory #worldcup
