CUBA 🇨🇺 ⚽️ 1938
The 1938 FIFA World Cup in France marked the first and only time that Cuba qualified for a World Cup final tournament. In doing so, they became the first Caribbean nation to play in a World Cup.
Cuba finished the tournament in 8th place overall. Héctor Socorro was the team's top scorer, netting 3 of Cuba's 5 goals during the campaign.
