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.
