Euro 2024 and Copa America 2024 are both coming to an end, and Uruguay, the favorite to win the Copa America, lost 1-0 to 10-man Colombia in the semi-finals in the absence of the two main players Araujo (right center back) and Nandez (right back), unable to compete with Argentina for the chance of "South American king".

Concentrate:Argentina and Uruguay have both won the Copa America 15 timesIf Argentina defeats Colombia in the final to win the championship, then the Pampas Eagles will lead the Copa America alone and become the true "king of South America".

So here's the question,Why does Uruguay, which has only won the World Cup twice, have 4 stars on their crest?

Here is the wisdom of some new fans to educate some new fans: Uruguay is a traditional powerhouse of South American football, and theyThe 4 stars on the team emblem represent 2 World Cup champions + 2 Olympic champions。 Uruguay in1930 and 1950 World Cupswon the championship in China, and it is still there1924 and 1928 Olympic Gamesto win the championship.

Perhaps everyone knows that in world football today, the World Cup is the highest level of the men's national football team, and the Olympic Games is an event in which U23 players + 3 overage players participate, and the men's football team is respected by the World Cup, which is the opposite of women's football, which is the opposite of women's football, which is respected by the Olympic Games, and the Women's World Cup is still secondary. Therefore, the star on the emblem of the men's national team generally refers to the number of World Cup wins, for example5 stars Brazil, 4 stars Germany and Italy, 3 stars Argentina, 2 stars France, 1 star England and Spain。

Then the question arises again,Why Uruguay can count 2 Olympic champions as 2 stars on the team emblem?？

Because Uruguay won 2 Olympic men's football titles inBefore the World Cup began, the men's football competition at the Olympic Games was considered as an important event as the World Cup。‌

This is FIFA's recognition of this special treatment for Uruguay, which is also rightRecognition of the historical achievements of Uruguay football + a recognition of their contribution to the development of football。 So the real reason why two-time World Cup winner Uruguay has 4 stars on its crest, do you know why?
