From 1930 to 1970, the Jules Rimet
Trophy was awarded to the winner of the World Cup of Football. Originally
called "Victory", the trophy more commonly known as the 'World Cup'
though it was renamed in 1946 after the FIFA president Jules Rimet who
organized the first tournament. The
trophy was created in GOLD with a base in semi-precious
stones. The Jules Rimet World Cup trophy was
stolen while on exhibition in London just before kick-off of the 1966 finals. The trophy was only permanently awarded
if the team became 3-time champions.
After 1970, a new trophy, known as the
FIFA World Cup Trophy, was designed. Constructed in 18-karat solid GOLD the
trophy is 36 centimeters (14 inches) tall, has two rings in malachite inlaid in
the base, and weighs a total of 4,970 grams (11 pounds). The lines spring out of the base,
rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. The new trophy is not awarded to the
winning nation permanently, no matter how many World Cups they win. The
original trophy remains in FIFA's possession, while the winning National
Association receives a gold-plated replica. The
current holder of the trophy is Germany, winner
of the 2014 World Cup.
A new World Cup trophy will be
required for 2042. The
current trophy is designed to be filled up by names of the 17 champions from
1974 to 2038. Therefore in 2042, a new trophy will be
used, and the old trophy will then be kept at the FIFA headquarters
permanently.
The winning nations of the Jules Rimet
Trophy are Uruguay,Italy,Germany,brazil and England. And the list who wins the
fifa world cup are Germany, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, France and Spain.
