Uruguay is a two-time or four-time world champion
The answer is "simple" and direct. Yes, Uruguay considers itself four-time world football champions.
The World Cup was played for the first time in 1930, as we know, but, of course, football already existed before that and, also, competitions between national teams.
Before FIFA created its "World Championship", the main football tournament between national teams took place at the Olympics.
Uruguay won gold medals in 1924 and 1928, being, at the time, recognized as the world football champion, which explains our neighbors' understanding of its number of world titles.
It's worth remembering that FIFA does not recognize the Uruguayans' four titles, and they are, officially, "just" two-time world champions.
