@stamp_sellers The 1934 World Cup was a high-profile instance of a sporting event being used for overt political gain, much like the Berlin Olympics two years later. Benito Mussolini was keen to use this World Cup as a means of promoting fascism, and there were accusations of bribery, corruption and meddling in the Italian team's matches by Mussolini himself. The Federale 102, which was manufactured in Italy, was the match ball provided for the 1934 World Cup After a lengthy decision-making process in which FIFA's executive committee met eight times, Italy was chosen as the host nation at a meeting in Stockholm on 9 October 1932. The decision was taken by the executive committee without a ballot of members. The Italian bid was chosen in preference to one from Sweden; the Italian government assigned a budget of 3.5 million lire to the tournament.
