And it is that there is a lot of history behind the situation, since the World Cups began to be played by FIFA in 1930, precisely in Uruguay, however, the Olympic Games in Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928 were played with FIFA rules and were taken as World Championships, therefore, they are credited as champions.
The Uruguayans are champions in 1930 and 1950, which is why the four stars complement each other, but in 2021, FIFA suggested that Uruguay should remove the two stars from the Olympic Games, something that annoyed the federation and is trying to be justified four star technique
