This tournament was organized in the summer of 1930 in Genéve, by local club Servette FC who had just won the Swiss championship, as a counterpoint to the first World Cup organized at the same time in Uruguay, to which only few European countries (Belgium, France, Romania and Yugoslavia) sent a team. The tournament also marked the inauguration of the Stade des Charmilles.
Participants:
First Vienna FC (Austria) [cup winners; 3rd in league 1929/30]
Cercle Brugge (Belgium) [national champions 1929/30]
SK Slavia Praha (Czechoslovakia) [national champions 1929/30]
Sète (France) [cup winners 1929/30]
SpVgg Fürth (Germany) [national champions 1929]
Újpesti FC (Hungary) [national champions 1929/30]
AGC Bologna (Italy) [national champions 1928/29]
Go Ahead (Netherlands) [national champions 1929/30]
Real Unión Irún (Spain) [cup winners 1927; 6th in league 1929/30]
Servette FC (Switzerland) [national champions 1929/30]
NB: apparently Real Unión Irún were announced as Spanish champions
1929, which is most certainly wrong (they were 9th in the league
1928/29 and eliminated in the 1/16 finals of the domestic cup).
Both Bologna and Irún had been allowed to field some
players not actually with the club.
The Greek and Norwegian FAs sent protest letters because their
champions had not been invited.
