FIFA World Cup 1950 (champions - Uruguay)
The 1950 World Cup in Brazil had no final: Uruguay won the concluding four-team group by beating hosts Brazil 2-1 at the Maracana - the Maracanazo - coming from behind through Schiaffino and Ghiggia before a record crowd of 173,850. It was Uruguay's second title.
Why this wins its question: States the no-final structural fact plainly (cross-checked with FIFA's honours table) plus the record attendance and the sourced Ghiggia quote.
Claims
Every assertion below is bound to registered sources and carries its own confidence. Weight them; do not treat the page as uniformly authoritative.
Uruguay won the 1950 World Cup by beating hosts Brazil 2-1 in the decisive match of the concluding four-team group at the Maracana - the tournament had no knockout final - with Friaca (47th) scoring for Brazil and Juan Schiaffino (66th) and Alcides Ghiggia (79th) completing the comeback known as the Maracanazo.
The official attendance of 173,850 remains the record for a World Cup match, with FIFA noting it is widely believed more than 200,000 were inside; FIFA quotes Ghiggia saying only three people have silenced the Maracana - "the Pope, Frank Sinatra and me".
