Chapter 594: The Grandeur of the King's Cup_1

In 1924, there were two major sports events worldwide: one was the Summer Olympic Games held in Paris, France, and the other was the football King's Cup held every four years in Sydney, Australasia.

Although the history of the Olympic Games far exceeds that of the King's Cup in football, with top powers like Britain-France-Australia having hosted it and attracting dozens of countries to participate, bringing together more than 2,000 athletes to compete in the Games.

But if one starts from the perspective of fame and the richness of the prize money, the current King's Cup in football is not inferior to the Olympic Games and even slightly exceeds them in terms of attention.

This is no joke; in 1920, the cost of holding the first King's Cup in football was over 3.78 million Australian dollars, and the prize money for the competition was around 500,000 Australian dollars.
