Was Daniel Passarella the first footballer to captain his country to a World Cup win on home soil?
Yes
No
Answer
The answer is no. Passarella captained Argentina to World Cup glory in 1978, but the tournament was held in Argentina, not his home country. Passarella was Italian-Argentine; therefore, Italy would have been his home country.
