World Cup Background: As a single sport, the FIFA World Cup is the largest sport in the world. The FIFA World Cup originated from the Olympic Games in the early 20th century, especially the Olympic Games held in 1920. 1920, 14 countries from South America, Asia and Africa participated in the football match of Antwerp Olympic Games, and 17 countries participated in the Amsterdam Olympic Games, but so far, there has not been a football match led by FIFA. The World Cup was not born until1May 26th, 920, when FIFA announced that it planned to hold a football match alone. At the 1926 FIFA General Assembly, President Rimet adopted the proposal of "holding the first FIFA World Cup in which all national teams can participate". 1930 the first world cup was held in Uruguay. During the period of post-war recovery and economic depression in Europe, the competition was held two months before the opening ceremony, and no European country applied to participate. However, due to the active diplomacy of President Jules Rimet, a total of 65,438+03 countries, including four European countries, participated. July1930-July 30, the first World Cup was held in three stadiums in Uruguay. After that, FIFA decided to choose the middle year of the Olympic Games and hold the World Cup every four years. After the third tournament (1938) was held in France, it was interrupted by war for 12 years. With the end of the war, the fourth World Cup was held in Brazil from 65438 to 0950. Origin of the World Cup trophy: 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, which was specially made by FIFA for champions. The trophy is made of pure gold and weighs 1800g. It stands on a marble base with a height of 30cm. This cup is a mobile prize. The champion can be kept for 4 years and must be returned to FIFA before the next cup, but there are additional regulations. If you win the world championship three times in a row, you can have the trophy forever. 1970 was permanently occupied by Brazil. For the next champion, FIFA will prepare a new trophy, named "FIFA World Cup", which adopts the design scheme of Gazania, Italy-the design scheme of two giants holding the earth high with their hands, symbolizing the strength and scale of sports. This cup is 36 centimeters high and weighs 5 kilograms, which was worth 20 thousand dollars at that time. According to FIFA, the new cup is a mobile prize, and no matter how many championships a team wins, it can't occupy it.
