It's a three-time World Champion football club, five-time Copa Libertadores de America Champion, and a 4 time vice-champion, along with Boca Juniors the most in the history of the Copa Libertadores. Peñarol is considered the most successful teams from Latin America, according to CONMEBOL. Also, in Uruguay they are the team with most national titles, slightly over eternal rivals Club Nacional de Football.

The Uruguay national football team is controlled by the Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol.
Uruguay is one of the most successful national football teams in the world. They have won two FIFA World Cups, including the first ever World Cup in 1930 as hosts, beating Argentina 4-2 in the final. They won their second title in 1950, upsetting hosts Brazil 2-1 in the final match. They also won the Gold Medals in football at the Summer Olympics twice, in 1924 and 1928, before the creation of the World Cup. They have also won the Copa América fourteen times, tied with Argentina, for most in America. They also won the 1980 Mundialito, a tournament among former World Cup champions Uruguay hosted in 1980 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first World Cup. Their success is amplified by the fact that the nation has a very small population. Uruguay is the only country in the world to win a World Cup with a general population of under 4 million inhabitants. The second smallest country to have won the World Cup is Argentina with a total population of over 41 million people.

it is important to make something clear: we have 4 world cups, cause the FIFA thought that both olympic gold medals in 1924 and 1928 were won before the 1st world cup, they are also accepted as world cup.
and yes, i love football, and it's football (you all yankees and freaks)
