 The four stars above AUF's crest, here displayed on an Uruguay pennant |
The four stars above Uruguay's football crest represent the four FIFA recognized world championships won by the Uruguay national football team in 1924, 1928, 1930, and 1950.[1] From the outset, FIFA and global football associations have recognized the Olympic football tournaments of Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928 as open world championships, the only editions in history to be subsequently and officially accepted as equivalent in value to the FIFA World Cup.[2][3]
Also, FIFA and CONMEBOL at times separates Uruguay's two World Cups from the two Olympic titles, recognizing that they were two separate events.[4][5][6][7]
