In the history of FIFA World Cup, there have been two FIFA World Cup trophies, and the first time it has gone through hardships. After FIFA decided to hold the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, the French sculptor Abel La Fleur made a pure gold trophy for the winning team. The trophy is an octagonal trophy sculpture, held by the goddess of victory with open arms on a pedestal inlaid with precious stones. In memory of President Rimet, the founder of FIFA World Cup, the trophy was named "Rimet Cup". But in the three World Cups before the outbreak of World War II (1930, 1934, 1938), it was only called the World Cup. Brazil, as the only country that won the triple crown, has been occupying this trophy since it won the championship in 1970. During World War II, in order to avoid the invading army, the trophy was hidden under the bed of an Italian family. 1966, it was stolen in the process of opening the exhibition to the public before the World Cup in Britain. Although searched by the British police in many ways, they all ended in failure. In the end, the trophy was found in the trash can in the suburbs by a mongrel dog named Pickets. 1983, the trophy was stolen again in Brazil, and it was melted by thieves. The Brazilian Football Association made a replica, which has been preserved to this day. The second FIFA World Cup trophy was selected by FIFA from 53 designs and awarded at the FIFA World Cup held in 1974. The trophy was made of 18K gold by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazazniga. According to his introduction, the image of the trophy includes "the spiral rising from the ground is supporting the earth, strongly showing the passion of victory moment". This trophy is 36cm( 14 inch) high and weighs 4.970Kg( 1 1), belonging to FIFA. The world cup champion team can get a gold-plated replica.

Regarding the image of the trophy, designer gazzaniga described it this way: "The lines extend upward from the base and rise in a spiral curve, and the images of two athletes also emerge. They stretch up and hold up the whole earth, which is a symbol of glory and glory. " The name of the champion team of 1974 is engraved on the base of the trophy, and the trophy has enough space to accommodate all the champion teams until the 2038 World Cup. At the beginning, the cost of this trophy was about $50,000, and now its valuation has reached100,000. The official name of this trophy is "FIFA World Cup trophy", but according to the image of two athletes holding up the earth, many people are used to calling it "World Cup". Similarly, the Rimet Cup used before 1974 has another name "Goddess Cup" because of its image as the Greek goddess of victory. The World Cup in Germany has been used since 1974. So far, it has been obtained by five countries including Germany (West Germany), Argentina, Italy, Brazil and France. However, unlike the Rimet Cup, this trophy is a permanent mobile trophy, and no team can keep it forever. [ 1]

There have been two World Cup trophies since 1930, "Rimet Cup" and "World Cup". From the first session of 1930 to the ninth session of 1970, all the trophies used were Rimet Cup. Before the first World Cup was held in 1930, the French sculptor Abel Lafleur designed the shape of the Golden Cup in Rimet, Rimet. This trophy is placed on an octagonal marble base with the image of Nikai, the Greek goddess of victory as the main body. Nikai wears a long skirt, spreads her unique wings, and holds a big cup in both hands, symbolizing victory and honor. The trophy is made of pure silver and set with gold. It is 35 cm high and weighs about 3.8 kg. A gold medal is inlaid on each side of the base to engrave the name of the champion team. The original name of Rimet Cup is World Cup. 1950, this trophy was named "Rimet Cup" in recognition of FIFA President Rimet's founding of this tournament. According to the regulations, the first team to win the World Cup three times will be able to keep the Rimet Cup forever. 1970, Brazil did this. The fate of the Rimet Cup is quite bumpy and full of legend. During World War II, the trophy was once "disappeared" and was finally found to be a shoe box under the bed of FIFA Vice President Bala Tibet, which kept it from falling into the hands of the occupying forces. Before the World Cup in March, 1966, the Rimet Cup was exhibited in Britain, but it disappeared again. A week later, it was found by a dog named Kimchi under a bush in south London. The owner of the dog won a prize of 53 pounds for this, and Pickles also won the Bones of Meat. 1983, the Rimet Cup, which has been permanently occupied by Brazil, disappeared for the third time. It was stolen in Rio de Janeiro. I didn't survive this time and was melted by the thief. Brazilians got the right to keep the Rimet Cup forever, but they didn't really keep it forever. Later, the Brazilian Football Association made a replica as compensation. The first person to win the Rimet Cup was 1930 Uruguayan Football Association President Paolo Youde, and the last one was 1970 Brazilian captain Alberto. In the 40-year history, five teams (Uruguay, Italy, West Germany, Brazil and Britain) won the Rimet Cup, and they became the darling of the goddess Nikai. History of Rimet Cup: 1930- 1970 used in the 9th World Cup, 1970 Brazil won the championship for the third time, and the trophy will be kept forever as required. [2]
[Edit this paragraph] History
Modern football originated in England and then swept the world. Due to the development of football, international competitions have also appeared. 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games was held in Greece, football was listed as an official event. Denmark beat Greece 9-0 and became the first football champion in the Olympic Games. Because professional athletes are not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, by 1928 (the ninth Olympic Games), the football match could not last. 1928 After the Olympic Games, FIFA held a representative meeting and unanimously adopted the resolution to hold the World Football Championship every four years. This has played a positive role in promoting the further development and improvement of world football. At first, this new football game was called "World Football Championship". 1956, FIFA decided to change its name to "Rimet Cup" at its meeting in Luxemburg. This is in recognition of Rimet, a Frenchman and former FIFA president, for his achievements in football. Rimet has been the president of FIFA for 33 years (192 1- 1954), and is the initiator and organizer of the World Football Championship. Later, it was suggested that the two names be linked, called "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup". Therefore, the Helsinki Conference decided to change its name to "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup" or "World Cup" for short. The trophy of the World Cup is 1928. FIFA's prize specially made for the winner was cast by Friel, a famous Parisian jewelry technician. Its model is Nikai, the legendary Greek goddess of victory. She was wearing an ancient Roman tunic, with her arms straight and a big cup in her hand. The statue, made of pure gold, weighs1800g and is 30cm high, and stands on a marble pedestal. This cup is a mobile prize. Whoever wins the championship can keep the gold cup for four years and return it to FIFA before the next World Cup, so that it can be awarded to the new world champion. There is also an additional rule: whoever wins the world championship three times will win the trophy forever. 1970 Uruguay, Italy and Brazil won the 9th World Cup twice. So, everyone has a chance to keep this cup forever. As a result, Brazil took the lead and occupied the cup. To this end, FIFA has to prepare a new trophy for the next champion. 1971may, FIFA held a new cup judging meeting. After reviewing 53 schemes, we decided to adopt the design scheme of Gazania, Italy-the design scheme of two giants holding the earth high with their hands. This figure symbolizes the strength and scale of sports. The new World Cup is named "FIFA World Cup". This cup is 36 centimeters high and weighs 5 kilograms, which was worth 20 thousand dollars at that time. 1974 In the 10 World Cup, West Germany won the new cup as a champion for the first time. This time, FIFA stipulates that the new cup is a mobile prize, and no matter which team wins many championships, it can't occupy this cup.

FIFA stipulates that any country that has won three World Cups can keep the story cup of the World Cup in Rimet forever. 1970, Brazil became the first team to win three World Cups, and Brazil has kept the Rimet Cup ever since. Therefore, FIFA needs to make a new trophy for the 1974 World Cup. 197 1 year, the creativity of Italian sculptor Silvio gazzaniga stood out from 53 works in seven countries, symbolizing the birth of the "World Cup", the highest honor in football. This trophy, which is still in use today, is as high as 36 centimeters and weighs 4970 grams. Made of 18K gold, the base is inlaid with two circles of dark green malachite. Ghassani Jia, the designer of the "World Cup", described his works as follows: "Several curves extending from the bottom 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 fully shows the exciting moment of victory. " The names of the countries that won the World Cup from 1974 to 17 in 2038 can be engraved on the base of the World Cup. In other words, after the 2038 World Cup, the World Cup will be retired and replaced by a new generation of trophies. Unlike the Rimet Cup, FIFA stipulates that the World Cup is permanent, that is, no matter which country has won many World Cups, it cannot be preserved forever, but only for four years. And made the following decision: 1974, the national team that won the championship three times can get a replica of the World Cup, and the original belongs to FIFA. So far, five countries including Germany, Argentina, Italy, Brazil and France have won the award. From 65438 to 0974, franz beckenbauer, the captain of the West German team, became the first person to lift the World Cup. In the summer of 2006, Italian national team captain Cannavaro won the World Cup at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany. [3]

[Edit this paragraph] Legendary story
The World Cup trophy represents the highest honor of world football, and it has a rich history as this famous event. Since 1928, there have been three trophies with a series of interesting stories behind them. 1928, FIFA decided to set up a football match for both amateur and professional players. The name is "World Football Championship", and the initiator of the competition is Julies Rimet, then president of FIFA. The competition was originally scheduled for 1930, so Rimet entrusted the famous French sculptor Raphael to make a trophy for the future champion. Raphael chose the goddess of victory in Greek mythology as the prototype and carefully made a pure gold trophy, so this trophy is called "Goddess Cup". This trophy weighs 3? 8 kg, 35 cm high, shaped like a goddess of victory standing on a blue lapis lazuli base with open arms and holding an octagonal gold cup with both hands. This World Cup is a mobile cup. The winner can keep the trophy for four years and give it to FIFA before the next World Cup for distribution to new world champions. At that time, there was a rule that the first team to win the championship three times could always have the gold cup. 1930, Uruguay won the Goddess Cup in the first World Cup, and then Italy lifted the trophy twice in 1934 and 1938. After the World Cup was held for three times, World War II broke out and the game was suspended 12 years. Towards the end of the war, Nazi Germany occupied Italy. Barnes, then vice president of FIFA, Italy, hid the trophy in the shoe cabinet under the bed and escaped the looting of the Germans. After the World War 1946, FIFA renamed the "Goddess Cup" as "Rimet Cup" to commemorate former President Rimet, who initiated and organized the World Cup during his 33 years as FIFA President. The World Cup resumed at 1950, and the trophy was passed from 16 to the "quiet years" of the World Cup in England. A few months before the competition, the "Rimet Cup" was stolen when it was on display in Britain, which caused great shock in Britain. The British police are going all out to search for the whereabouts of trophies all over the country. A week after the trophy disappeared, Thames barge crew Gao Bai and his dog Pickles found an old newspaper paper bag under the fence near their home. When they opened it, the Rimet Cup was lying inside. Gao Bai sent the trophy to the police station. Apart from winning a prize of 3,000 pounds, Qi Zu missed the World Cup, and he and his dog became national heroes. In an interview on 1990, Gao Bai recalled this incident and said, "Pickles's action caught my attention. The trophy is tightly wrapped in the newspaper, and it can be seen from the outside that it is probably a sculpture, and the base is still exposed outside the newspaper. When I tore open the newspaper, I saw the names of Germany, Uruguay and Brazil engraved on it. Because I am a fan, I know that the trophy was stolen, so I jumped in the car and drove to the police station. " According to the British police, the thief was forced to give up the trophy because he couldn't sell it and evaded the pursuit. 1970, Brazil won the World Cup for the third time after 1958 and 1962, and became the permanent owner of the Rimet Cup. FIFA decided to make a new trophy to replace it. 1971may, FIFA selected Italian sculptor Silvio? Gazzani's design scheme. Gazzani's trophy broke away from the old-fashioned design routine. This design shows two Hercules holding their arms back to back, with an earth on their backs, which looks like a football from the outline of the ball. There are two circles of emerald malachite on the top of the cup. This cup is made of 5 kg 18K gold and is 36 cm high. The cup has reserved the position of 17 World Cup champion, so it can be used until 2038. The cup was named "FIFA World Cup", also known as "World Cup". Although this cup is also a flowing cup, it is no longer permanently occupied by a country that has won many championships. The fate of the World Cup trophy in Brazil is very "tragic". 1982 65438+In February, a masked thief broke into the office building of the Brazilian Football Association and stole the trophy. Brazil regards it as a national shame and offers a large reward. Unfortunately, the police soon discovered that the Rimet Cup had been melted in a slum in the northern suburb of Rio de Janeiro.
