第一次世界杯在哪一年举行？
1930年，国际足联在巴黎宣布举办首届世界杯赛。 当时有4个国家获得参加首届世界杯赛的资格——法国、比利时、意大利和乌拉圭。 但法国以“没有资金”为由拒绝了；而意大利则认为比赛应该安排在欧洲进行。
后来，在国际足联的讨论下，决定将比赛的地点设在乌拉圭。就这样，第一届世界杯诞生了！ 而乌拉圭也得以成为第一支世界杯冠军球队。 第一届世界杯赛于1930年在乌拉圭举行，共有13个国家的代表队参赛（除乌拉圭外）。决赛在乌拉圭和阿根廷之间进行。结果，乌拉圭队以4：2获胜。这是世界杯历史上第一场决赛。 同时这届赛事也是世界杯改制前最后的一届，此后世界杯将改为每四年一届。
1950s， a decade marked by great changes at home and abroad ，the national football team made its debut in the World Cup. This was also an era when Chinese athletes began to win medals for our country .The first two Olympic gold medals won by Chinese athlete were both won by members of the National Football Team： Fang Caoyan (men's volleyball)and Chen Yibing(men's tennis double). In addition， Li Ning was the first world men's gymnastic champion from China as well. The results achieved by them not only showed people that China had truly entered the sports circle but also demonstrated China s outstanding contribution on international sporting events．
In June， 1974 ，China played its first game against Japan since returning to soccer world stage .They lost with score one to three .However， this match has significance： it is believed that most of the players who took part in the games went into professional teams after that .It’s considered to be the beginning of modern basketball history in china．As early as then ，China ranked third on list of Asia Basketball Association． Since then ，Chinese basketball became more and more popular among public .With such a huge fan base， many young guys are eager to take up playing basketball professionally． However， the road to success wasn’t smooth sailing though there have been several ups and downs along their way like other major sports team ． And we can still see some current stars like Yao Ming ， Yi Jianlian and Guo Ailun making good progress day by day…… So far， they all make us proud as fans of ours．I am sure I will enjoy watching every single exciting moment during next year`s tournament ！
