The 1930 FIFA World Cup Final was a football tournament match that culminated in the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup champions. Uruguay and Argentina contested in what was a "rematch" of the gold medal match of the 1928 Olympics. Uruguay won after a replay.

The final was played at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 30 July, a Wednesday; to date, it shares with the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final, the only World Cup Finals to be played on a day other than Sunday (the latter being played on a Saturday). This World Cup Final has the distinction of being the only final not to be played on a weekend. The stadium gates were opened at eight o'clock, six hours before kick-off, and at noon the ground was full,[1][full citation needed] officially holding 93,000 people.[2] A disagreement overshadowed the build-up to the match as which team would provide the match ball. FIFA intervene with a compromise: Argentina would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguay would provide for the second.[3] Uruguay would successfully "defend" its Olympic gold medal achievement 4–2 after they trailed 2–1 at half-time. Aged 31, Uruguay manager Alberto Suppici has the distinction of being the youngest coach of a FIFA World Cup champion team. Jules Rimet, president of FIFA, presented Uruguay with the World Cup Trophy, later to be named after him. The following day was declared a national holiday in Uruguay;[2] in Buenos Aires, a mob threw stones at the Uruguayan consulate.[4][full citation needed]

The last surviving player from that final was the Argentina striker, Francisco Varallo who died on 30 August 2010 at the age of 100.[5] The last Uruguay survivor was Ernesto Mascheroni who died on 3 July 1984 at the age of 76.
