9. This was the last World Cup to be staged before the
outbreak of the Second World War
Because of World War II, the World Cup would not
be held for another 12 years, until 1950.
As a result, Italy were the reigning World Cup holders
for a record 16 years, from 1934 to 1950.
The Italian Vice-President of FIFA, Dr. Ottorino
Barassi, hid the trophy in a shoe-box under his bed
throughout the Second World War and thus saved it
from falling into the hands of occupying troops
