Rimet Gold Cup (Jules Rimet Cup)
1930 the first FIFA world cup? Two years before the World Cup, FIFA formulated a series of articles of association about the World Cup. It stipulates that a trophy will be set up to reward the final champion. The task of designing the trophy was finally given to the famous French sculptor abel lafleur. The Rimet Cup has been ill-fated since its birth. During World War II, Ottorino Barassi, an Italian who was then vice-president of FIFA, hid the Rimet Cup in a shoe box under his bed to prevent it from falling into the hands of German fascists, which made the Rimet Cup not be seen again until the end of the war. During the period of 1966, FIFA held a World Cup commemorative exhibition in Britain, and the Rimet Cup was naturally the most important exhibit. Unexpectedly, it disappeared under strict protection, and was later found under a tree, and the meritorious service was a dog named Kimchi. This bizarre thing is still a headless unsolved case. 1970 World Cup in Mexico, Brazil won the championship for the third time under the leadership of Pele, so the Rimet Cup stayed in Brazil forever. Bad luck didn't end there. 1983, the Rimet Cup was stolen again in Rio de Janeiro. Although the case was finally solved, it is a pity that the Rimet Cup has been melted by thieves. Since then, this trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of the World Cup, has disappeared forever. Although the Brazilian Football Association later produced an imitation, people's regrets cannot be erased. The Rimet Cup is 35 cm high and weighs about 3.8 kg ... The sculpture at the top of the trophy is made of pure silver with a gold-plated appearance. The base is made of lapis lazuli. The four sides of the base are inlaid with a gold medal, which is engraved with the name of the trophy and the names of the teams that won the 9th World Cup from 1930 to 1970 respectively.
Hercules cup
After 1970 Brazil won the championship for the third time in Mexico City, the FIFA World Cup? The first trophy, Jules Rimet Cup, was permanently collected by the Brazilian Football Association. So FIFA decided to call it 1974 World Cup? In order to make a new championship trophy, many designers from seven countries submitted 53 different designs to FIFA, and finally FIFA chose the works of Italian artist Silvio Ghassani. The new World Cup is named "World Cup". Ghassani Jia, his designer, described his work like this: "Several curves extending from the base spiral upwards and connect to the shape of the earth at the top. The modeling design with two athletes as the main body of the statue also fully demonstrated the exciting moment of victory. " FIFA stipulates that the ownership of the World Cup will always belong to FIFA, and every FIFA World Cup since then? All champions can only keep the World Cup for four years and return it to FIFA at the beginning of the next World Cup in exchange for the pure gold replica issued by FIFA as a treasure. The Hercules Cup is 36cm high and weighs 4.97kg. It is made of 18K pure gold. The base is composed of two layers of malachite, which will be used to inlay 17 gold medals engraved with the names of the champion teams. According to this regulation, the World Cup will be used until the 2038 World Cup.
