After World War I, Mr. Yule Rimet, the founder of Paris Red Star Team, was elected as the president of FIFA, and he resumed this stranded plan. He has done a lot of persuasion to the leaders of football circles in various countries, and tried his best to prove that a world-wide football match can keep pace with the Olympic Games founded by Baron Coubertin and can flourish. He is very patient, very patient. During the period of 1925, in a hotel in Brussels, Uruguayan diplomat Buero officially expressed his support for Rimet on behalf of two-time Olympic football champion Uruguay, which played an important role at that time.
1926 12 10, FIFA held a working meeting in Paris, attended by representatives from Switzerland, Hungary, France, Austria, Germany and other countries. Four months later, the draft meeting was submitted to national football associations. 1 On June 5th, 927, at the Helsinki Conference convened by FIFA, the proposal of the Paris Working Conference was passed by 23 votes in favor, 5 votes against (against by Nordic countries) and1abstention (Germany).
1956, in the Luxemburg meeting of FIFA, the name of the tournament was changed to "Rimet Cup" in recognition of the great contribution of former FIFA president and Frenchman Rimet to football. Later, it was suggested that the two names be linked together, called "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup"; Finally, at the representative meeting in Helsinki, it was simply called "World Football Champions Cup-Rimet Cup".

The Origin World Cup is a special prize made by FIFA for the winner in 1928, which 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 Jinbei is 35cm high and weighs 3.8kg.. It is made of gold-plated silver cups and stands on a marble base. 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 cup, so as to award a new world champion. There is also an additional rule: whoever wins the world championship three times will win the trophy forever.
Rimet Cup and World Cup 1970 In the 9th World Cup, Uruguay, Italy and Brazil won the championship 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 up the earth with their hands. This figure symbolizes the scale of the first movement in the world. The new trophy was named "World Cup". The cup is 36.8 cm high and weighs 6. 175 kg, of which 4.97 kg is made of pure gold. The base is composed of two layers of malachite, which is extremely precious.
According to FIFA, the new cup is a mobile prize, and no matter how many championships a team wins, it can't occupy the cup forever. Under the base of the World Cup, there is a nameplate that can hold 17 champion names-it can be used continuously until 2038. The World Cup is the trophy of today's football World Cup and the symbol of football's highest honor. No matter from the aspects of structure, value and preciousness, it is by no means comparable to any other trophy in the world.

The World Cup preliminaries are divided into six divisions, namely Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, North America and Oceania. Each division needs to formulate preliminary rules according to the actual situation of its own division, while teams from FIFA member countries (regions) who sign up for the World Cup need to conduct preliminary competitions in their respective divisions to compete for places in the final stage of the World Cup.
There are 32 places in the final stage of the World Cup, and the host country can directly obtain the places in the final stage. Except for the host country, other places are allocated by FIFA according to the football level of each qualifying area, and different qualifying areas will have different numbers of places in the final stage. Starting from the 3rd World Cup of 1938, it is stipulated that the defending champion and the host country can advance directly. However, in 2002, due to the poor performance of the defending champion France in the World Cup in Korea and Japan, FIFA stipulated that from the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, the defending champion needed to participate in the World Cup qualifiers in his region, so that only the host country could qualify for the top 32 finals, while the host country South Africa failed to qualify from the group. However, FIFA did not disqualify the host country from direct promotion.
The host country of the final stage of the World Cup must be a FIFA member country (region). Member countries (regions) need to apply to FIFA (two member countries can jointly apply for hosting), and then all FIFA member countries (regions) will vote to decide.
32 teams will go to the host country to compete for the championship in the final stage. In the final stage, 32 teams will be divided into 8 groups by lottery, with 4 teams in each group, and the top two teams in each group will be qualified to enter the semi-finals; After entering the semi-finals, 16 teams decided the schedule according to the established rules, no more lottery, and then single elimination matches were held until the champion was decided.
