FIRSTS

Greece , Nigeria and Saudi Arabia played in the World Cup for the first time, and Russia participated in a finals tournament for the first time since the break-up of the Soviet Union .

There were three teams representing Africa : a record at the time.

The United States-Switzerland match in the Pontiac Silverdome was the first to be played indoors in World Cup history: grass had to be shipped in at great expense from California.

Brazil became the first country to win the World Cup four times.

Oleg Salenko of Russia became the first player to score 5 goals in a single World Cup finals game in his country's group stage win over Cameroon. Roger Milla who scored a goal for Cameroon in the same match became the oldest player to score a goal in world cups. He was 42.

This was the first, and so far the only time, that a British team has not been in the World Cup finals since they started to participate in the tournament.

The finals were the first time FIFA decided to experiment with the style of jerseys worn by officials, foregoing the traditional black. They would choose between burgundy, yellow or white shirts depending on what was feasible to avoid a clash of colours with the two competing teams. Black shirts would, however, return 4 years later.

The 1994 World Cup revolutionized television coverage of sports in the USA through the sponsored scoreboard and game clock that were constantly shown on screen throughout the game. Variations on it were quickly incorporated into virtually every team sports broadcast by the decade's end.
