The World Cup is a prize specially 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.
Uruguay, Italy and Brazil won the 9th World Cup with 1970. 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.
