FIFA sanctioned the 1908, 1912 and 1920 Olympics too, so I was wondering.

The 1924 Olympics was the first to feature teams from South America and that is why they considered 1924 to be the first true world championship.

Well, that sucks for Belgium I guess. However, I guess that makes sense as there'd then be the dilemma of who would get the UK's medals - England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland would all have been a part of the team.
