    1942 FIFA WORLD CUP


    Introduction
    The Fifa World Cup was played for the first time in Uruguay in 1930.
    Uruguay, the host team, won this cup. According to FIFA's rules, the World
    Cup would be played every 4 years. The winner of this cup in 1934 was Italy,
    and the winner in 1938 was France. Germany officially applied for the venue
    for the 1942 FIFA World Cup on 13 August 1936. In June 1939, Brazil
    applied for the place where the cup would be played. However, it was
    announced by Fifa that the Cup would not be played in 1939 before the place
    where the Cup would be played was determined. The reason for this was
    World War II was broken out.

    Unoffical 1942 World Cup


    Two events have been proposed as unofficial World Cup tournaments during
    World War II: one in Nazi Germany and one in Argentina. A competition in
    Patagonia, Argentina, brought together twelve teams of professional football
    players, immigrants, acrobats, banished revolutionaries, Nazi soldiers, and
    local laborers. There aren't many details, and it's still unclear who won.

    Germany's match against Sweden, which took place on September 30, 1942,
    at Berlin's Olympiastadion, was promoted as a match between two of the best
    European teams. Hitler's warnings and their past defeats spurred the German
    team to view this match as vital. As a "unofficial World Cup final," it is
    recognized by the Unofficial Football World Championships.

    But FIFA announced that this tournament will not be accepted.


    1946 World Cup
    Talks about bringing back the World Cup started after World War II, but in
    1946 it was not possible to pull it off. There was no World Cup that year as a
    result, and arrangements were made for Brazil to host the competition in
    1949. But because of custom, it was rescheduled for 1950. The South
    American Championship, which many South Americans view as the
    unofficial World Cup final, saw Argentina defeat Brazil 2-0 in 1946. FIFA
    did not acknowledge Argentina's unofficial declaration as the 1946 world
    champion.

    Return Of The World Cup


    Brazil saved the World Cup after World War II as the only nation willing to
    host the competition. With a changed format and no customary championship
    match, the 1950 World Cup was hosted in Brazil. In the Maracana Stadium,
    Uruguay triumphed, defeating Brazil 2-1. In 1954, when Switzerland hosted
    the competition once more, it moved back to Europe. West Germany defeated
    Hungary 3-2 to win the first World Cup final in sixteen years.
