1950 FIFA World Cup squads

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below are the rosters for the 1950 FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil. This was the first World Cup where the players' jerseys featured back numbers (allowed in football since 1944), though no teams had fixed numbers for each player (that would only be compulsory since the next World Cup, in 1954). Thus, the players are ordered by name.

1 Group 1
2 Group 2
3 Group 3
4 Group 4
- 4.1 Uruguay
- 4.2 Bolivia
