The four stars above Uruguay's football crest represent the four FIFA recognized senior (non-amateur) world titles won by the Uruguay national football team in 1924, 1928, 1930 and 1950.[1] The Olympic football tournaments of Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928 have been recognized by global football associations from the outset as open world championships, the only editions to be subsequently accepted as equivalent in value to the FIFA World Cup.[2] As of 30 May 2022, the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has announced that Uruguay have been permitted to continue wearing four stars on their football crest for the fifth consecutive FIFA World Cup tournament.[3][4] In 2023, FIFA re-confirmed their stance by publishing an article that explained their history organizing and recognizing the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football tournaments as being World Cup equivalents.[5]
