Football official

Enrique Buero was one of the vice presidents of the world football association FIFA at the beginning of the 20th century . He was head of the delegation of the Uruguayan national team at the Olympics in 1924 in Paris and 1928 in Antwerp, the La Celeste both won .

As early as 1924, he and Rimet had forged plans for a world football tournament . These were presented to the world association in 1928, which finally accepted. Uruguay ran because it had won the last two Olympic tournaments and was preparing the centenary of its independence for 1930. At the annual FIFA congress in May 1929, the first World Cup was awarded to Uruguay, because Buero had managed to convince all the other South American members to vote for Uruguay, while other European countries were running alongside the European favorite, Italy. The European football associations boycotted the World Cup in protest.

Three months before the event, not a single European football association had agreed. Buero negotiated intensely behind the scenes. But it was only when he promised that Uruguay would cover the travel costs and meals for all delegations, continue to pay each player four pesos a day (and two pesos per day for the three-week crossing), and give FIFA ten percent of the profit he convince his friend Rodolphe William Seeldrayers . He had just been elected President of the Belgian Football Association and made it a point of honor for the founding member of FIFA to take part in the first World Cup. Nevertheless, Seeldrayers and Buero still had to convince the public, employers and football clubs. Finally, the national teams from Romania , Yugoslavia and France also took part in the first World Cup, which, however, was further boycotted by other European national associations such as Italy.

Enrique Buero personally bid farewell to the Belgian delegation at the Gare du Midi / Zuidstation in Brussels on June 20, 1930 . His fifteen-year-old son, Enrique J. "the Belgian", who was carrying the trophy, later known as the Coupe Jules Rimet , went with him on the trip .
