Review:
The Centenary Stadium in Montevideo was completed in 1930 to host the inaugural FIFA Football World Cup and to mark the centenary of Uruguay's constitution. FIFA has acknowledged that it is the only historic monument of World Football. The Uruguayan team was inspired to take the trophy at the end of the tournament, a feat that they repeated in 1950.
The stadium has four grandstands and seats 80000 people. The Tower of Tributes rises several stories above the stadium and can be seen across the urban landscape. The Football museum was opened in 1975. The stadium is the home of the national team when they play international games.
