The '''Uruguay national football team''' is controlled by the
Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol. Uruguay were the first winners of the
Football World Cup World Cup, beating
Argentina national football team Argentina 4-2 in
Uruguay in
Football World Cup 1930 1930. They also won the
Football World Cup 1950 1950 edition on Brazilian soil.
Uruguay and Argentina hold the record for the most international matches played between two countries, there have been 161 matches played against each other since
1901. The first match against Argentina was the first official international match to be played outside
Britain. (Although
Canada men's national soccer team Canada and the
United States men's national soccer team United States played two internationals in
1885 and
1886, neither match is considered official; Canada did not play an official international until
1904 and the USA did not play one until
1916.)
Uruguay won the
Copa América 14 times, the first coming in the inaugural tournament in
South American Championship 1916 1916 and the last in
Copa América 1995 1995.
Uruguay also won the 50th anniversary World Champions tournament that it hosted in
1980.
Uruguay failed to qualify for the 2006 World Cup in Germany after succumbing to
Australia national football team Australia 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 aggregate tie in an intercontinental playoff.
