Since 1974, six countries have won the World Cup 12 times, including Germany three times. Senior experts asked Lao Tie, How could you lie? Didn't Germany win four championships? Yes, but before 1974, the World Cup trophy was not called the World Cup, but the Rimet Cup. It is so called because Rimet was the president of FIFA at that time, and this trophy is to commemorate him.

The Rimet Cup is based on Nike, the goddess of victory in Greek mythology, with lapis lazuli as its base and gold-plated with sterling silver. This is naturally a good cup. However, Rimet stipulated in 1930 that whoever wins the championship three times first will always have the Rimet Cup.
I thought it would take 100 to reach this condition, but I didn't expect Samba Corps to win the championship three times in 1970. According to the regulations, they took the trophy and kept it forever. But as the saying goes, most things are good, but things are not firm, colorful clouds are easy to disperse and glass is fragile.

1983, 13 After the Brazilians put the Rimet Cup in the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Association, the Rimet Cup was stolen by four thieves who broke into the headquarters and has not been recovered. As for whether the trophy is still there, please use your imagination.
There are two sides to this story. The FIFA trophy is gone here, but the World Cup has to be held. So at 1970, artists from all over the world began to provide designs for new trophies. After a public bidding design competition, the scheme participated by Italian designer Silvio Gazzani won.
Under Gazzani's brush, the trophy spirals up from the base. The appearance of the trophy pattern is that two Hercules lifted the earth. Therefore, the new World Cup trophy was changed to the World Cup. Considering that the World Cup had become an influential and eye-catching game at that time, FIFA naturally pursued cards in the trophy.

The height of the whole World Cup is 36.8 cm, the weight is 6. 1 kg, and the trophy base is designated as 13. 1 cm. It consists of two pieces of malachite with extremely high quality, and the rest is made of 18K gold weighing about 4.97kg, the gold content of which is nearly twice that of the previous Rimet Cup.
Nowadays, the World Cup is held every four years, which is the most influential football match in modern sports history. Only by passing many tests and defeating all powerful countries can we reach the top of the world and lift the golden cup. The significance of the World Cup is self-evident, but no matter who wins the World Cup, they can't take it away in the end, not because FIFA can't bear it, but because they are smart this time.

Because of the precedent of the Rimet Cup being stolen earlier, FIFA made an early statement that the World Cup belongs to FIFA's official permanent ownership and will not be held by national teams that have won many championships.
Is it fake for the champion team to win the World Cup? Yes, to some extent, it can be understood that the national team that won this World Cup can only have the real thing in name before the next World Cup, but actually received the imitation of the bronze gold-plated World Cup. Even if they win the World Cup, they can only return home with that replica. At present, there are nearly 50 illegally authorized World Cups, all made by top Italian craftsmen.
