The 1954 FIFA World Cup, the fifth staging of the World Cup, was held in Switzerland from 16 June to 4 July. As the year saw the 50th anniversary of FIFA, it was appropriate for football's premier competition to be played in the home of its governing body, and Switzerland was chosen as hosts in July 1946. The tournament was won by West Germany, who defeated Hungary 3-2 in the final, giving them their first title.
It was one of the best performances of Switzerland in that World Cup as they reached in the Quater finals for the 3rd time after 1934 and 1938. In one of the quarter-finals the World Cup holders Uruguay sent England out of the tournament, also by 4-2. Also Germany dispatched Yugoslavia 2-0, and Austria beat the host nation Switzerland in the game that saw the most goals in any World Cup match, 7-5.
