Uruguay won twice, in 1930 and 1950 - but Italy have won it four times ('34, '38, '82 and '06), so it's them!

Which teams withdrew the 1950 FIFA World Cup?

*16 teams registered, only 13 actually contested.

Korean War breaking out. Doubt either Korean country had a team so doubt it is one of them. So guess that might have nothing to do with the withdrawals.

Come on Fenix even I wasn't born yet in 1950.

Are we allowed to phone a grandparent?

No

I remember that the 1950 Cup was held in Brazil, and I think it was at least one team that withdrew because their group Matches would be 3,000 miles apart. Just can't remember which team it was though...

FTR, peeps, it isn't Germany, because they weren't even allowed to play.

oopsy have caught up now  :P

I'm pretty sure that Argentina boycotted it, I vaguely remember something from a documentary a longggg time ago. No idea what the reason was though, unless it was just a local rivalry issue.

And not a clue who the other 2 teams were

Argentina boycotted 1938, I think. So did Uruguay.

Gosh, I know everything about the World Cups except for the answer to this question... :bang:

Argentina did not participate because the AFA and the players had issues, leading lately to a strike...

It is a quite chaotic question TBH, considering many countries didn't participate, resigned after accepting the invitation or resigned before anything...

I'll let some more time pass...
