1986 : World Cup Football Championship, Mexico
After 10 years of discussion and planning by Jules Rimet the President of the French Football Association, the world cup
finals commenced in Uruguay in 1930. Thirteen teams travelled from different parts of the world to contest the first
world cup competition. FIFA decided to name the cup after all the work done by Jules Rimet and called it "Jules Rimet
Cup". The cup was solid gold 30 cm, high, and it weighed just over 4 kg. In the 1930 final, Uruguay beat Argentina by
four goals to two. In 1934 and in 1938 the competition was run on a knockout basis and in 1934 the U.S.A., Argentina
and Brazil travelled all the way to Italy for one match.
Between 1950 and 1978 sixteen teams were involved in the finals to enable each team to play more games. In 1982, in
Spain, finals involved twenty-four teams for the first time. Italy won the 1982 competition beating West Germany in the
final by three goals to one.
The Jules Rimet cup was played for until 1970, when Brazil having won it three times, was allowed to keep it for ever.
The new FIFA trophy is solid gold, 30 cm high and is simply called the "World Cup."
Malawi took part in the preliminary round of the 1982 world cup on 29th June, 1980. Malawi reached the second round
of the 1986 world cup on 7 April, 1985. In the first leg, Malawi lost to Morocco in Casablanca and on 21 April, 1985 drew
with Morocco in the second leg played at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre. Morocco and Algeria qualified from Africa zone
