For the first time ever, the host nation France and defending champion Italy were automatic entrants into the Finals. Italy went into the tournament as the heavy favorite after winning both the World and Olympic championships. At the Prince's Park Stadium in Paris, Italy got two goals each from Gino Colaussi and Silvio Piola to record a 4-2 triumph over Hungary in the Finals and retain the World Cup. Italy's head coach, Vittorio Pozzo, is revered as a master innovator of tactics and his team is lauded for its unselfish play.
The tournament's leading scorer was Leonidas da Silva of Brazil, who had eight goals.
