1978 FIFA WORLD CUP - Argentina
The 1978 FIFA World Cup, the 11th staging of the World Cup, was held in Argentina between June 1 and June 25. Argentina was chosen as hosts by FIFA in July 1966. The 1978 World Cup was won by Argentina who beat the Netherlands 3-1 after extra time in the final. This win was the first World Cup title for Argentina who became the sixth team (after Uruguay, Italy, West Germany, Brazil, and England) to be world champions.
A total of 38 matches were played in Argentina. The tournament provided an array of wonderful goals including Hann's (NED) long-range goal against Italy and Gemmill's (SCO) memorable solo goal against Holland. Kempes (ARG) finished top scorer guiding Argentina to first ever FIFA World Cup™ triumph.
