When the Olympic Games were renewed, football was not immediately included in the program in 1896, but it was included in the program in 1900, although not as part of the competition program, but as part of the exhibition program. Since its foundation in 1904, FIFA has been trying to organize the World Cup, but they were unable to do so. There have been several unsuccessful attempts, but all have continued to focus on the Olympics, especially since 1908 when football became part of the competition. Gilles Rime, the third president of FIFA and someone who stayed in that position for the longest time, even 33 years, succeeded in his intention. The first World Cup in football was held in 1930 in Uruguay. Then two more were held, before a break due to global events, so the next championship was held in 1950.
