Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two different trophies have been used: the\nJules Rimet Trophy\nfrom 1930 to 1970, and thereafter the\nFIFA World Cup Trophy\nfrom 1974 to the present day. The production cost of the current trophy is estimated at $242,700.\n[\n1\n]\nThe first trophy, originally named\nVictory\n, but renamed in honor of\nFIFA\npresident\nJules Rimet\n, was made of gold plated\nsterling silver\nand a\nlapis lazuli\nbase. It depicted\nNike\n, the Greek goddess of victory.\nBrazil\nwas awarded the trophy in perpetuity following their third title in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement. The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered.\nThe subsequent trophy, called the \"FIFA World Cup Trophy\", was introduced in\n1974\n. Made of 18 karat gold with bands of\nmalachite\non its base, it stands 36.8 centimetres (14.5 in) high and weighs 6.175 kilograms (13.61 lb).\n[\n2\n]\nThe trophy was made by the\nGDE Bertoni\ncompany in Italy.\n[\n3\n]\nIt depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The current holders of the trophy are\nArgentina\n, winners of the\n2022 World Cup\n. The trophy is kept at the\nFIFA World Football Museum\nin Zürich, Switzerland, and leaves there only on select occasions. World Cup winners receive a gold-plated bronze replica, which they possess until the next World Cup final and in perpetuity if they have won it three times.\n[\n4\n]\nOnly a selected few are officially allowed to touch the trophy with bare hands, including\nplayers\nand\nmanagers\nwho have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.\n[\n5\n]\nJules Rimet Trophy replica on display in the English\nNational Football Museum\n. The original was stolen from Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered.\nThe\nJules Rimet\nCup was the original trophy of the\nFIFA World Cup\n. Originally called \"Victory\", but generally known simply as the\nWorld Cup\nor\nCoupe du Monde\n, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the\nFIFA President\nJules Rimet, who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. It was designed by French sculptor\nAbel Lafleur\nand made of gold-plated sterling silver on a\nlapis lazuli\nbase.\n[\n6\n]\nIn 1954 the base was replaced with a taller version to accommodate more winners' details. It stood 35 centimetres (14 in) high and weighed 3.8 kilograms (8.4 lb).\n[\n7\n]\nIt comprised a decagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing\nNike\n, the ancient Greek goddess of victory. The Jules Rimet Trophy was taken to Uruguay for the first FIFA World Cup aboard the\nConte Verde\n, which set sail from\nVillefranche-sur-Mer\n, just southeast of\nNice\n, in June 1930. This was the same ship that carried Jules Rimet and the footballers representing France, Romania, and Belgium who were participating in the tournament that year. The first team to be awarded the trophy was\nUruguay\n, the winners of the\n1930 World Cup\n.\n[\n8\n]\nJules Rimet\npresents the World Cup trophy to\nRaúl Jude\n, president of the Uruguayan Football Association, winners of the inaugural\n1930 FIFA World Cup\n. This trophy was renamed for Rimet in 1946.\nDuring World War II, the trophy was held by\n1938\nchampion\nItaly\n.\nOttorino Barassi\n, the Italian vice-president of\nFIFA\nand president of\nFIGC\n, secretly transported the trophy from a bank in Rome and hid it in a shoe-box under his bed to prevent the\nNazis\nfrom taking it.\n[\n9\n]\nThe\n1958 FIFA World Cup\nin Sweden marked the beginning of a tradition regarding the trophy. As Brazilian captain\nHilderaldo Bellini\nheard photographers' requests for a better view of the Jules Rimet Trophy, he lifted it up in the air. Every cup-winning captain since has repeated the gesture.\n[\n10\n]\nOn 20 March 1966, four months before the\n1966 FIFA World Cup\nin England, the\ntrophy was stolen\nduring a public exhibition at\nWestminster Central Hall\n.\n[\n11\n]\nIt was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill,\nUpper Norwood\n,\nSouth London\n, by a black and white collie dog named\nPickles\n.\n[\n12\n]\n[\n13\n]\nAs a security measure, the (English)\nFootball Association\nsecretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in exhibitions rather than the original. This replica was used on occasions until the original trophy had to be handed back to FIFA for the\nnext competition in 1970\n. Since FIFA had explicitly denied the FA permission to create a replica, the replica also had to disappear from public view and was for many years kept under its creator's bed. This replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA.\n[\n14\n]\nThe high auction price, 10 times the reserve price of £20,000–30,000, was led by speculation that the auctioned trophy was not the replica trophy but the original itself. Testing by FIFA confirmed the auctioned trophy was a replica.\n[\n14\n]\nSoon afterwards FIFA arranged for the replica to be lent for display at the English\nNational Football Museum\n, which was then based in\nPreston\nbut is now in\nManchester\n.\n[\n15\n]\nThe\nBrazilian team\nwon the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930.\n[\n16\n]\nIt was put on display at the\nBrazilian Football Confederation\nheadquarters in\nRio de Janeiro\n, in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass.\n[\n17\n]\nOn 19 December 1983,\nthe trophy was stolen again\n. The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken.\n[\n18\n]\nFour men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime.\n[\n19\n]\nThe trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars.\n[\n4\n]\nHowever, some believe the trophy was not melted down (as it did not actually contain enough gold to produce gold bars if melted down) and was instead sold onto the black market and may still exist.\n[\n20\n]\nOnly one piece of the Jules Rimet Trophy has been found, the original base, which FIFA had kept in a basement of the federation's Zürich headquarters prior to 2015.\n[\n21\n]\nThe Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made by\nEastman Kodak\n, using 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb) of gold. This replica was presented to\nBrazilian military\npresident\nJoão Figueiredo\nin 1984.\n[\n19\n]\nA replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the\n1974 World Cup\n. Fifty-three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries.\n[\n4\n]\n[\n22\n]\nItalian artist\nSilvio Gazzaniga\nwas awarded the commission. The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 in) tall and is made using 5.0 kilograms (11.0 lb) of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US$407,725 as of 25-AUG-2025. Its base is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in diameter containing two layers of\nmalachite\nwhich adds another 1.175 kilograms (2.59 lb) to the total weight. Chemist\nSir Martyn Poliakoff\nclaims that the trophy is hollow, because if it were solid gold, the trophy would weigh 70–80 kilograms (150–180 lb) and would be too heavy to lift;\n[\n23\n]\n[\n24\n]\nthe trophy's original manufacturer has confirmed its hollowness.\n[\n25\n]\n[\n26\n]\nProduced by\nGDE Bertoni\nin\nPaderno Dugnano\n, it depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, \"The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory\".\n[\n4\n]\nThe Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup.\n[\n4\n]\nGermany\nbecame the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the\n2014 FIFA World Cup\n,\n[\n27\n]\nand\nArgentina\nbecame the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the\n2022 FIFA World Cup\n.\nThe trophy has the engraving \"FIFA World Cup\" on its base. After the\n1994 FIFA World Cup\n, a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, \"1974\nDeutschland\n\"\nor \"1994\nBrasil\n\"\n. In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as \"2010 Spain\" in English, not in Spanish.\n[\n28\n]\n[\n29\n]\nThis was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup.\n[\n30\n]\nAs of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base. The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners.\n[\n4\n]\nThe original trophy is now permanently kept at the\nFIFA World Football Museum\nin Zürich, Switzerland. It leaves there only when it goes on its FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. It is present at the Final draw for the next World Cup, and on the pitch at the World Cup opening game and Final.\n[\n31\n]\nThe FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour was inaugurated for the\n2006 FIFA World Cup\ncompetition.\n[\n32\n]\nOn 3 December 2025,\nLego\nannounced that a version of the FIFA World Cup Trophy would be released in March 2026 ahead of the\n2026 FIFA World Cup\n.\nHistoric list of all\nholders of the trophy\n(winners of the FIFA World Cup).\nJules Rimet Trophy\n \nBrazil\n– 1958, 1962, 1970\n \nUruguay\n– 1930, 1950\n \nItaly\n– 1934, 1938\n \nWest Germany\n– 1954\n \nEngland\n– 1966\nFIFA World Cup Trophy\nFIFA Women's World Cup trophy\nFIFA Champions Badge\n^\n\"How much is the FIFA World Cup Trophy actually worth?\"\n. 18 November 2022.\nArchived\nfrom the original on 12 December 2022\n.

Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two different trophies have been used: the **Jules Rimet Trophy** from 1930 to 1970, and thereafter the **FIFA World Cup Trophy** from 1974 to the present day. The production cost of the current trophy is estimated at \\$242,700.[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-1)\n\nThe first trophy, originally named *Victory*, but renamed in honor of [FIFA](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA \"FIFA\") president [Jules Rimet](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Rimet \"Jules Rimet\"), was made of gold plated [sterling silver](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sterling_silver \"Sterling silver\") and a [lapis lazuli](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lapis_lazuli \"Lapis lazuli\") base. It depicted [Nike](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nike_\$mythology\$ \"Nike (mythology)\"), the Greek goddess of victory. [Brazil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil_national_football_team \"Brazil national football team\") was awarded the trophy in perpetuity following their third title in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement. The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered.\n\nThe subsequent trophy, called the \"FIFA World Cup Trophy\", was introduced in [1974](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1974_FIFA_World_Cup \"1974 FIFA World Cup\"). Made of 18 karat gold with bands of [malachite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malachite \"Malachite\") on its base, it stands 36.8 centimetres (14.5 in) high and weighs 6.175 kilograms (13.61 lb).[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-2) The trophy was made by the [GDE Bertoni](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GDE_Bertoni \"GDE Bertoni\") company in Italy.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-3) It depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The current holders of the trophy are [Argentina](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Argentina_national_football_team \"Argentina national football team\"), winners of the [2022 World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2022_FIFA_World_Cup \"2022 FIFA World Cup\"). The trophy is kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_Museum \"FIFA Museum\") in Zürich, Switzerland, and leaves there only on select occasions. World Cup winners receive a gold-plated bronze replica, which they possess until the next World Cup final and in perpetuity if they have won it three times.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)\n\nOnly a selected few are officially allowed to touch the trophy with bare hands, including [players](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_players \"List of FIFA World Cup winning players\") and [managers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_managers \"List of FIFA World Cup winning managers\") who have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-5)\n\n## Jules Rimet Trophy\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Jules Rimet Trophy\")\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/0\/07\/Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg\/250px-Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg)\n\nJules Rimet Trophy replica on display in the English [National Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Football_Museum \"National Football Museum\"). The original was stolen from Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered.\n\nThe [Jules Rimet](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Rimet \"Jules Rimet\") Cup was the original trophy of the [FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup \"FIFA World Cup\"). Originally called \"Victory\", but generally known simply as the *World Cup* or *Coupe du Monde*, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the [FIFA President](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_President \"FIFA President\") Jules Rimet, who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. It was designed by French sculptor [Abel Lafleur](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Abel_Lafleur \"Abel Lafleur\") and made of gold-plated sterling silver on a [lapis lazuli](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lapis_lazuli \"Lapis lazuli\") base.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-6) In 1954 the base was replaced with a taller version to accommodate more winners' details. It stood 35 centimetres (14 in) high and weighed 3.8 kilograms (8.4 lb).[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-7) It comprised a decagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing [Nike](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nike_\$mythology\$ \"Nike (mythology)\"), the ancient Greek goddess of victory. The Jules Rimet Trophy was taken to Uruguay for the first FIFA World Cup aboard the *[Conte Verde](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SS_Conte_Verde \"SS Conte Verde\")*, which set sail from [Villefranche-sur-Mer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Villefranche-sur-Mer \"Villefranche-sur-Mer\"), just southeast of [Nice](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nice \"Nice\"), in June 1930. This was the same ship that carried Jules Rimet and the footballers representing France, Romania, and Belgium who were participating in the tournament that year. The first team to be awarded the trophy was [Uruguay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uruguay_national_football_team \"Uruguay national football team\"), the winners of the [1930 World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1930_FIFA_World_Cup \"1930 FIFA World Cup\").[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-8)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a0\/Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg\/250px-Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg)\n\n[Jules Rimet](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Rimet \"Jules Rimet\") presents the World Cup trophy to [Raúl Jude](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ra%C3%BAl_Jude \"Raúl Jude\"), president of the Uruguayan Football Association, winners of the inaugural [1930 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1930_FIFA_World_Cup \"1930 FIFA World Cup\"). This trophy was renamed for Rimet in 1946.\n\nDuring World War II, the trophy was held by [1938](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1938_FIFA_World_Cup \"1938 FIFA World Cup\") champion [Italy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Italy_national_football_team \"Italy national football team\").

As Brazilian captain [Hilderaldo Bellini](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hilderaldo_Bellini \"Hilderaldo Bellini\") heard photographers' requests for a better view of the Jules Rimet Trophy, he lifted it up in the air. Every cup-winning captain since has repeated the gesture.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-10)\n\nOn 20 March 1966, four months before the [1966 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1966_FIFA_World_Cup \"1966 FIFA World Cup\") in England, the [trophy was stolen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1966_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy \"1966 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy\") during a public exhibition at [Westminster Central Hall](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Methodist_Central_Hall_Westminster \"Methodist Central Hall Westminster\").[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-11) It was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, [Upper Norwood](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Upper_Norwood \"Upper Norwood\"), [South London](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South_London \"South London\"), by a black and white collie dog named [Pickles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pickles_\$dog\$ \"Pickles (dog)\").[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-12)[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-13)\n\nAs a security measure, the (English) [Football Association](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Football_Association \"The Football Association\") secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in exhibitions rather than the original. This replica was used on occasions until the original trophy had to be handed back to FIFA for the [next competition in 1970](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1970_FIFA_World_Cup \"1970 FIFA World Cup\"). Since FIFA had explicitly denied the FA permission to create a replica, the replica also had to disappear from public view and was for many years kept under its creator's bed. This replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA.[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) The high auction price, 10 times the reserve price of £20,000–30,000, was led by speculation that the auctioned trophy was not the replica trophy but the original itself. Testing by FIFA confirmed the auctioned trophy was a replica.[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) Soon afterwards FIFA arranged for the replica to be lent for display at the English [National Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Football_Museum \"National Football Museum\"), which was then based in [Preston](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Preston,_Lancashire \"Preston, Lancashire\") but is now in [Manchester](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Manchester \"Manchester\").[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-15)\n\nThe [Brazilian team](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil_national_football_team \"Brazil national football team\") won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930.[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-16) It was put on display at the [Brazilian Football Confederation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazilian_Football_Confederation \"Brazilian Football Confederation\") headquarters in [Rio de Janeiro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rio_de_Janeiro \"Rio de Janeiro\"), in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass.[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-17)\n\nOn 19 December 1983, [the trophy was stolen again](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1983_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy \"1983 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy\"). The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken.[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-18) Four men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19) The trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) However, some believe the trophy was not melted down (as it did not actually contain enough gold to produce gold bars if melted down) and was instead sold onto the black market and may still exist.[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Kuper_2012-20)\n\nOnly one piece of the Jules Rimet Trophy has been found, the original base, which FIFA had kept in a basement of the federation's Zürich headquarters prior to 2015.[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-21)\n\nThe Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made by [Eastman Kodak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eastman_Kodak \"Eastman Kodak\"), using 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb) of gold. This replica was presented to [Brazilian military](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazilian_military_dictatorship \"Brazilian military dictatorship\") [president](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/President_of_Brazil \"President of Brazil\") [João Figueiredo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jo%C3%A3o_Figueiredo \"João Figueiredo\") in 1984.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19)\n\n## New trophy\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: New trophy\")\\]\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/2c\/Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG\/250px-Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/29\/Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg\/120px-Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg)\n\n[Diego Maradona](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diego_Maradona \"Diego Maradona\") (left) and [Antoine Griezmann](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antoine_Griezmann \"Antoine Griezmann\") (right) with the trophy in 1986 and 2018, respectively\n\nA replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the [1974 World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1974_FIFA_World_Cup \"1974 FIFA World Cup\"). Fifty-three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-22) Italian artist [Silvio Gazzaniga](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silvio_Gazzaniga \"Silvio Gazzaniga\") was awarded the commission. The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 in) tall and is made using 5.0 kilograms (11.0 lb) of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US\\$407,725 as of 25-AUG-2025. Its base is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in diameter containing two layers of [malachite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malachite \"Malachite\") which adds another 1.175 kilograms (2.59 lb) to the total weight. Chemist [Sir Martyn Poliakoff](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sir_Martyn_Poliakoff \"Sir Martyn Poliakoff\") claims that the trophy is hollow, because if it were solid gold, the trophy would weigh 70–80 kilograms (150–180 lb) and would be too heavy to lift;[\\[23\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-23)[\\[24\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-24) the trophy's original manufacturer has confirmed its hollowness.[\\[25\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-25)[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-26)\n\nProduced by [GDE Bertoni](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GDE_Bertoni \"GDE Bertoni\") in [Paderno Dugnano](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paderno_Dugnano \"Paderno Dugnano\"), it depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, \"The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory\".[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)\n\nThe Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) [Germany](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany_national_football_team \"Germany national football team\") became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the [2014 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2014_FIFA_World_Cup \"2014 FIFA World Cup\"),[\\[27\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-27) and [Argentina](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Argentina_national_football_team \"Argentina national football team\") became the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the [2022 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2022_FIFA_World_Cup \"2022 FIFA World Cup\").\n\nThe trophy has the engraving \"FIFA World Cup\" on its base. After the [1994 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1994_FIFA_World_Cup \"1994 FIFA World Cup\"), a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, \"1974 *Deutschland*\" or \"1994 *Brasil*\". In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as \"2010 Spain\" in English, not in Spanish.[\\[28\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-globo-28)[\\[29\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-uol-live-29) This was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup.[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-30) As of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base. The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)\n\nThe original trophy is now permanently kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_Museum \"FIFA Museum\") in Zürich, Switzerland. It leaves there only when it goes on its FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. It is present at the Final draw for the next World Cup, and on the pitch at the World Cup opening game and Final.[\\[31\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy_Tour-31) The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour was inaugurated for the [2006 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2006_FIFA_World_Cup \"2006 FIFA World Cup\") competition.[\\[32\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-WCTT-2006-32)\n\nOn 3 December 2025, [Lego](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lego \"Lego\") announced that a version of the FIFA World Cup Trophy would be released in March 2026 ahead of the [2026 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2026_FIFA_World_Cup \"2026 FIFA World Cup\").\n\n## Winners\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Winners\")\\]\n\nSee also: [List of FIFA World Cup finals](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_finals \"List of FIFA World Cup finals\")\n\nHistoric list of all *holders of the trophy* (winners of the FIFA World Cup).\n\n**Jules Rimet Trophy**\n\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Flag_of_Brazil_%281968%E2%80%931992%29.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Brazil_%281968%E2%80%931992%29.svg.png) [Brazil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil_national_football_team \"Brazil national football team\") – 1958, 1962, 1970\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/f\/fe\/Flag_of_Uruguay.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Uruguay.svg.png) [Uruguay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uruguay_national_football_team \"Uruguay national football team\") – 1930, 1950\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/0\/03\/Flag_of_Italy.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Italy.svg.png) [Italy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Italy_national_football_team \"Italy national football team\") – 1934, 1938\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Flag_of_Germany.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Germany.svg.png) [West Germany](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany_national_football_team \"Germany national football team\") – 1954\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/b\/be\/Flag_of_England.svg\/40px-Flag_of_England.svg.png) [England](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/England_national_football_team \"England national football team\") – 1966\n\n**FIFA World Cup Trophy**\n\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Flag_of_Germany.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Germany.svg.png) [West Germany](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany_national_football_team \"Germany national football team\") \/ ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/b\/ba\/Flag_of_Germany.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Germany.svg.png) [Germany](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany_national_football_team \"Germany national football team\") – 1974, 1990, 2014\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/1a\/Flag_of_Argentina.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Argentina.svg.png) [Argentina](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Argentina_national_football_team \"Argentina national football team\") – 1978, 1986, 2022\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/0\/03\/Flag_of_Italy.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Italy.svg.png) [Italy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Italy_national_football_team \"Italy national football team\") – 1982, 2006\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/0\/05\/Flag_of_Brazil.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Brazil.svg.png) [Brazil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil_national_football_team \"Brazil national football team\") – 1994, 2002\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/c\/c3\/Flag_of_France.svg\/40px-Flag_of_France.svg.png) [France](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/France_national_football_team \"France national football team\") – 1998, 2018\n- ![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/9\/9a\/Flag_of_Spain.svg\/40px-Flag_of_Spain.svg.png) [Spain](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spain_national_football_team \"Spain national football team\") – 2010\n\n## See also\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: See also\")\\]\n\n- [FIFA Women's World Cup trophy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_Women%27s_World_Cup_Trophy \"FIFA Women's World Cup Trophy\")\n- [FIFA Champions Badge](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_Champions_Badge \"FIFA Champions Badge\")\n\n## References\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=5 \"Edit section: References\")\\]\n\n1. **[^](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_ref-1)**\n   [\"How much is the FIFA World Cup Trophy actually worth?\"](https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/sg\/amp\/fifa-22\/news\/how-much-fifa-world-cup-trophy-actually-worth\/xuw8kdzymnlumi0tu7eeghna). 18 November 2022.

Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two different trophies have been used: the **Jules Rimet Trophy** from 1930 to 1970, and thereafter the **FIFA World Cup Trophy** from 1974 to the present day. The production cost of the current trophy is estimated at \\$242,700.[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-1)\n\nThe first trophy, originally named *Victory*, but renamed in honor of [FIFA](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA \"FIFA\") president [Jules Rimet](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Rimet \"Jules Rimet\"), was made of gold plated [sterling silver](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sterling_silver \"Sterling silver\") and a [lapis lazuli](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lapis_lazuli \"Lapis lazuli\") base. It depicted [Nike](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nike_\$mythology\$ \"Nike (mythology)\"), the Greek goddess of victory. [Brazil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil_national_football_team \"Brazil national football team\") was awarded the trophy in perpetuity following their third title in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement. The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered.\n\nThe subsequent trophy, called the \"FIFA World Cup Trophy\", was introduced in [1974](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1974_FIFA_World_Cup \"1974 FIFA World Cup\"). Made of 18 karat gold with bands of [malachite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malachite \"Malachite\") on its base, it stands 36.8 centimetres (14.5 in) high and weighs 6.175 kilograms (13.61 lb).[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-2) The trophy was made by the [GDE Bertoni](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GDE_Bertoni \"GDE Bertoni\") company in Italy.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-3) It depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The current holders of the trophy are [Argentina](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Argentina_national_football_team \"Argentina national football team\"), winners of the [2022 World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2022_FIFA_World_Cup \"2022 FIFA World Cup\"). The trophy is kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_Museum \"FIFA Museum\") in Zürich, Switzerland, and leaves there only on select occasions. World Cup winners receive a gold-plated bronze replica, which they possess until the next World Cup final and in perpetuity if they have won it three times.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)\n\nOnly a selected few are officially allowed to touch the trophy with bare hands, including [players](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_players \"List of FIFA World Cup winning players\") and [managers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_managers \"List of FIFA World Cup winning managers\") who have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-5)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/0\/07\/Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg\/250px-Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg)\n\nJules Rimet Trophy replica on display in the English [National Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Football_Museum \"National Football Museum\"). The original was stolen from Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered.\n\nThe [Jules Rimet](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Rimet \"Jules Rimet\") Cup was the original trophy of the [FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup \"FIFA World Cup\"). Originally called \"Victory\", but generally known simply as the *World Cup* or *Coupe du Monde*, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the [FIFA President](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_President \"FIFA President\") Jules Rimet, who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. It was designed by French sculptor [Abel Lafleur](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Abel_Lafleur \"Abel Lafleur\") and made of gold-plated sterling silver on a [lapis lazuli](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lapis_lazuli \"Lapis lazuli\") base.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-6) In 1954 the base was replaced with a taller version to accommodate more winners' details. It stood 35 centimetres (14 in) high and weighed 3.8 kilograms (8.4 lb).[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-7) It comprised a decagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing [Nike](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nike_\$mythology\$ \"Nike (mythology)\"), the ancient Greek goddess of victory. The Jules Rimet Trophy was taken to Uruguay for the first FIFA World Cup aboard the *[Conte Verde](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SS_Conte_Verde \"SS Conte Verde\")*, which set sail from [Villefranche-sur-Mer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Villefranche-sur-Mer \"Villefranche-sur-Mer\"), just southeast of [Nice](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nice \"Nice\"), in June 1930. This was the same ship that carried Jules Rimet and the footballers representing France, Romania, and Belgium who were participating in the tournament that year. The first team to be awarded the trophy was [Uruguay](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uruguay_national_football_team \"Uruguay national football team\"), the winners of the [1930 World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1930_FIFA_World_Cup \"1930 FIFA World Cup\").[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-8)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a0\/Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg\/250px-Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg)\n\n[Jules Rimet](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Rimet \"Jules Rimet\") presents the World Cup trophy to [Raúl Jude](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ra%C3%BAl_Jude \"Raúl Jude\"), president of the Uruguayan Football Association, winners of the inaugural [1930 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1930_FIFA_World_Cup \"1930 FIFA World Cup\"). This trophy was renamed for Rimet in 1946.\n\nDuring World War II, the trophy was held by [1938](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1938_FIFA_World_Cup \"1938 FIFA World Cup\") champion [Italy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Italy_national_football_team \"Italy national football team\"). [Ottorino Barassi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ottorino_Barassi \"Ottorino Barassi\"), the Italian vice-president of [FIFA](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA \"FIFA\") and president of [FIGC](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Italian_Football_Federation \"Italian Football Federation\"), secretly transported the trophy from a bank in Rome and hid it in a shoe-box under his bed to prevent the [Nazis](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nazis \"Nazis\") from taking it.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-9) The [1958 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1958_FIFA_World_Cup \"1958 FIFA World Cup\") in Sweden marked the beginning of a tradition regarding the trophy. As Brazilian captain [Hilderaldo Bellini](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hilderaldo_Bellini \"Hilderaldo Bellini\") heard photographers' requests for a better view of the Jules Rimet Trophy, he lifted it up in the air. Every cup-winning captain since has repeated the gesture.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-10)\n\nOn 20 March 1966, four months before the [1966 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1966_FIFA_World_Cup \"1966 FIFA World Cup\") in England, the [trophy was stolen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1966_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy \"1966 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy\") during a public exhibition at [Westminster Central Hall](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Methodist_Central_Hall_Westminster \"Methodist Central Hall Westminster\").[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-11) It was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, [Upper Norwood](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Upper_Norwood \"Upper Norwood\"), [South London](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South_London \"South London\"), by a black and white collie dog named [Pickles](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pickles_\$dog\$ \"Pickles (dog)\").[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-12)[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-13)\n\nAs a security measure, the (English) [Football Association](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Football_Association \"The Football Association\") secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in exhibitions rather than the original. This replica was used on occasions until the original trophy had to be handed back to FIFA for the [next competition in 1970](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1970_FIFA_World_Cup \"1970 FIFA World Cup\"). Since FIFA had explicitly denied the FA permission to create a replica, the replica also had to disappear from public view and was for many years kept under its creator's bed. This replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA.[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) The high auction price, 10 times the reserve price of £20,000–30,000, was led by speculation that the auctioned trophy was not the replica trophy but the original itself. Testing by FIFA confirmed the auctioned trophy was a replica.[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) Soon afterwards FIFA arranged for the replica to be lent for display at the English [National Football Museum](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/National_Football_Museum \"National Football Museum\"), which was then based in [Preston](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Preston,_Lancashire \"Preston, Lancashire\") but is now in [Manchester](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Manchester \"Manchester\").[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-15)\n\nThe [Brazilian team](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazil_national_football_team \"Brazil national football team\") won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930.[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-16) It was put on display at the [Brazilian Football Confederation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazilian_Football_Confederation \"Brazilian Football Confederation\") headquarters in [Rio de Janeiro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rio_de_Janeiro \"Rio de Janeiro\"), in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass.[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-17)\n\nOn 19 December 1983, [the trophy was stolen again](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1983_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy \"1983 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy\"). The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken.[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-18) Four men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19) The trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) However, some believe the trophy was not melted down (as it did not actually contain enough gold to produce gold bars if melted down) and was instead sold onto the black market and may still exist.[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Kuper_2012-20)\n\nOnly one piece of the Jules Rimet Trophy has been found, the original base, which FIFA had kept in a basement of the federation's Zürich headquarters prior to 2015.[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-21)\n\nThe Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made by [Eastman Kodak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eastman_Kodak \"Eastman Kodak\"), using 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb) of gold. This replica was presented to [Brazilian military](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brazilian_military_dictatorship \"Brazilian military dictatorship\") [president](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/President_of_Brazil \"President of Brazil\") [João Figueiredo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jo%C3%A3o_Figueiredo \"João Figueiredo\") in 1984.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/2c\/Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG\/250px-Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/29\/Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg\/120px-Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg)\n\nA replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the [1974 World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1974_FIFA_World_Cup \"1974 FIFA World Cup\"). Fifty-three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-22) Italian artist [Silvio Gazzaniga](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Silvio_Gazzaniga \"Silvio Gazzaniga\") was awarded the commission. The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 in) tall and is made using 5.0 kilograms (11.0 lb) of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US\\$407,725 as of 25-AUG-2025. Its base is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in diameter containing two layers of [malachite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Malachite \"Malachite\") which adds another 1.175 kilograms (2.59 lb) to the total weight. Chemist [Sir Martyn Poliakoff](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sir_Martyn_Poliakoff \"Sir Martyn Poliakoff\") claims that the trophy is hollow, because if it were solid gold, the trophy would weigh 70–80 kilograms (150–180 lb) and would be too heavy to lift;[\\[23\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-23)[\\[24\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-24) the trophy's original manufacturer has confirmed its hollowness.[\\[25\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-25)[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-26)\n\nProduced by [GDE Bertoni](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GDE_Bertoni \"GDE Bertoni\") in [Paderno Dugnano](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paderno_Dugnano \"Paderno Dugnano\"), it depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, \"The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory\".[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)\n\nThe Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) [Germany](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany_national_football_team \"Germany national football team\") became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the [2014 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2014_FIFA_World_Cup \"2014 FIFA World Cup\"),[\\[27\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-27) and [Argentina](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Argentina_national_football_team \"Argentina national football team\") became the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the [2022 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2022_FIFA_World_Cup \"2022 FIFA World Cup\").\n\nThe trophy has the engraving \"FIFA World Cup\" on its base. After the [1994 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1994_FIFA_World_Cup \"1994 FIFA World Cup\"), a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, \"1974 *Deutschland*\" or \"1994 *Brasil*\". In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as \"2010 Spain\" in English, not in Spanish.[\\[28\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-globo-28)[\\[29\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-uol-live-29) This was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup.[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-30) As of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base.

Boilerpipe Text	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia FIFA World Cup Trophy The trophy Awarded for Winning the FIFA World Cup Presented by FIFA History First award 1930 (Jules Rimet Trophy) 1974 (FIFA World Cup Trophy) First winner Uruguay (Jules Rimet Trophy, 1930) West Germany (FIFA World Cup Trophy, 1974) Most wins Brazil (5 times) Most recent Argentina (3rd title, 2022 ) Website fifa.com The FIFA World Cup is a golden trophy that is awarded to the winners of the FIFA World Cup association football tournament. Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two different trophies have been used: the Jules Rimet Trophy from 1930 to 1970, and thereafter the FIFA World Cup Trophy from 1974 to the present day. The production cost of the current trophy is estimated at $242,700. [ 1 ] The first trophy, originally named Victory , but renamed in honor of FIFA president Jules Rimet , was made of gold plated sterling silver and a lapis lazuli base. It depicted Nike , the Greek goddess of victory. Brazil was awarded the trophy in perpetuity following their third title in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement. The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered. The subsequent trophy, called the "FIFA World Cup Trophy", was introduced in 1974 . Made of 18 karat gold with bands of malachite on its base, it stands 36.8 centimetres (14.5 in) high and weighs 6.175 kilograms (13.61 lb). [ 2 ] The trophy was made by the GDE Bertoni company in Italy. [ 3 ] It depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The current holders of the trophy are Argentina , winners of the 2022 World Cup . The trophy is kept at the FIFA World Football Museum in Zürich, Switzerland, and leaves there only on select occasions. World Cup winners receive a gold-plated bronze replica, which they possess until the next World Cup final and in perpetuity if they have won it three times. [ 4 ] Only a selected few are officially allowed to touch the trophy with bare hands, including players and managers who have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.

The Jules Rimet Cup was the original trophy of the FIFA World Cup . Originally called "Victory", but generally known simply as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde , it was renamed in 1946 to honour the FIFA President Jules Rimet, who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. It was designed by French sculptor Abel Lafleur and made of gold-plated sterling silver on a lapis lazuli base. [ 6 ] In 1954 the base was replaced with a taller version to accommodate more winners' details. It stood 35 centimetres (14 in) high and weighed 3.8 kilograms (8.4 lb). [ 7 ] It comprised a decagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing Nike , the ancient Greek goddess of victory. The Jules Rimet Trophy was taken to Uruguay for the first FIFA World Cup aboard the Conte Verde , which set sail from Villefranche-sur-Mer , just southeast of Nice , in June 1930. This was the same ship that carried Jules Rimet and the footballers representing France, Romania, and Belgium who were participating in the tournament that year. The first team to be awarded the trophy was Uruguay , the winners of the 1930 World Cup . [ 8 ] Jules Rimet presents the World Cup trophy to Raúl Jude , president of the Uruguayan Football Association, winners of the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup . This trophy was renamed for Rimet in 1946. During World War II, the trophy was held by 1938 champion Italy . Ottorino Barassi , the Italian vice-president of FIFA and president of FIGC , secretly transported the trophy from a bank in Rome and hid it in a shoe-box under his bed to prevent the Nazis from taking it. [ 9 ] The 1958 FIFA World Cup in Sweden marked the beginning of a tradition regarding the trophy. As Brazilian captain Hilderaldo Bellini heard photographers' requests for a better view of the Jules Rimet Trophy, he lifted it up in the air. Every cup-winning captain since has repeated the gesture. [ 10 ] On 20 March 1966, four months before the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England, the trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall . [ 11 ] It was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, Upper Norwood , South London , by a black and white collie dog named Pickles . [ 12 ] [ 13 ] As a security measure, the (English) Football Association secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in exhibitions rather than the original. This replica was used on occasions until the original trophy had to be handed back to FIFA for the next competition in 1970 . Since FIFA had explicitly denied the FA permission to create a replica, the replica also had to disappear from public view and was for many years kept under its creator's bed. This replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA. [ 14 ] The high auction price, 10 times the reserve price of £20,000–30,000, was led by speculation that the auctioned trophy was not the replica trophy but the original itself. Testing by FIFA confirmed the auctioned trophy was a replica. [ 14 ] Soon afterwards FIFA arranged for the replica to be lent for display at the English National Football Museum , which was then based in Preston but is now in Manchester . [ 15 ] The Brazilian team won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930. [ 16 ] It was put on display at the Brazilian Football Confederation headquarters in Rio de Janeiro , in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass. [ 17 ] On 19 December 1983, the trophy was stolen again . The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken. [ 18 ] Four men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime. [ 19 ] The trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars. [ 4 ] However, some believe the trophy was not melted down (as it did not actually contain enough gold to produce gold bars if melted down) and was instead sold onto the black market and may still exist. [ 20 ] Only one piece of the Jules Rimet Trophy has been found, the original base, which FIFA had kept in a basement of the federation's Zürich headquarters prior to 2015. [ 21 ] The Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made by Eastman Kodak , using 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb) of gold. This replica was presented to Brazilian military president João Figueiredo in 1984. [ 19 ] A replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the 1974 World Cup . Fifty-three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries. [ 4 ] [ 22 ] Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga was awarded the commission. The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 in) tall and is made using 5.0 kilograms (11.0 lb) of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US$407,725 as of 25-AUG-2025. Its base is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in diameter containing two layers of malachite which adds another 1.175 kilograms (2.59 lb) to the total weight. Chemist Sir Martyn Poliakoff claims that the trophy is hollow, because if it were solid gold, the trophy would weigh 70–80 kilograms (150–180 lb) and would be too heavy to lift; [ 23 ] [ 24 ] the trophy's original manufacturer has confirmed its hollowness. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] Produced by GDE Bertoni in Paderno Dugnano , it depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory". [ 4 ] The Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup. [ 4 ] Germany became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the 2014 FIFA World Cup , [ 27 ] and Argentina became the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the 2022 FIFA World Cup . The trophy has the engraving "FIFA World Cup" on its base. After the 1994 FIFA World Cup , a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, "1974 Deutschland " or "1994 Brasil " . In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as "2010 Spain" in English, not in Spanish. [ 28 ] [ 29 ] This was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup. [ 30 ] As of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base. The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners. [ 4 ] The original trophy is now permanently kept at the FIFA World Football Museum in Zürich, Switzerland. It leaves there only when it goes on its FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. It is present at the Final draw for the next World Cup, and on the pitch at the World Cup opening game and Final. [ 31 ] The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour was inaugurated for the 2006 FIFA World Cup competition. [ 32 ] On 3 December 2025, Lego announced that a version of the FIFA World Cup Trophy would be released in March 2026 ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup .

Moreover, the police had no evidence the trophy had been melted down. Indeed, the convicted Argentine gold dealer Juan Carlos Hernández testified that he didn't melt it down. An analysis of his foundry found traces of gold of a different quality from the trophy. ^ "World Cup: Piece of original Jules Rimet trophy found" . BBC Sport . 13 January 2015.

Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two different trophies have been used: the Jules Rimet Trophy from 1930 to 1970, and thereafter the FIFA World Cup Trophy from 1974 to the present day. The production cost of the current trophy is estimated at \$242,700.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-1) The first trophy, originally named Victory, but renamed in honor of [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA") president [Jules Rimet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Rimet "Jules Rimet"), was made of gold plated [sterling silver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_silver "Sterling silver") and a [lapis lazuli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli "Lapis lazuli") base. It depicted [Nike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_$mythology$ "Nike (mythology)"), the Greek goddess of victory. [Brazil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team "Brazil national football team") was awarded the trophy in perpetuity following their third title in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement. The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered. The subsequent trophy, called the "FIFA World Cup Trophy", was introduced in [1974](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_FIFA_World_Cup "1974 FIFA World Cup"). Made of 18 karat gold with bands of [malachite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite "Malachite") on its base, it stands 36.8 centimetres (14.5 in) high and weighs 6.175 kilograms (13.61 lb).[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-2) The trophy was made by the [GDE Bertoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDE_Bertoni "GDE Bertoni") company in Italy.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-3) It depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The current holders of the trophy are [Argentina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team "Argentina national football team"), winners of the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"). The trophy is kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Museum "FIFA Museum") in Zürich, Switzerland, and leaves there only on select occasions. World Cup winners receive a gold-plated bronze replica, which they possess until the next World Cup final and in perpetuity if they have won it three times.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) Only a selected few are officially allowed to touch the trophy with bare hands, including [players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_players "List of FIFA World Cup winning players") and [managers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_managers "List of FIFA World Cup winning managers") who have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-5) ## Jules Rimet Trophy \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Jules Rimet Trophy")\] [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg/250px-Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg) Jules Rimet Trophy replica on display in the English [National Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_Museum "National Football Museum"). The original was stolen from Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered. The [Jules Rimet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Rimet "Jules Rimet") Cup was the original trophy of the [FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup "FIFA World Cup"). Originally called "Victory", but generally known simply as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the [FIFA President](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_President "FIFA President") Jules Rimet, who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. It was designed by French sculptor [Abel Lafleur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Lafleur "Abel Lafleur") and made of gold-plated sterling silver on a [lapis lazuli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli "Lapis lazuli") base.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-6) In 1954 the base was replaced with a taller version to accommodate more winners' details. It stood 35 centimetres (14 in) high and weighed 3.8 kilograms (8.4 lb).[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-7) It comprised a decagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing [Nike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_$mythology$ "Nike (mythology)"), the ancient Greek goddess of victory. The Jules Rimet Trophy was taken to Uruguay for the first FIFA World Cup aboard the [Conte Verde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Conte_Verde "SS Conte Verde"), which set sail from [Villefranche-sur-Mer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villefranche-sur-Mer "Villefranche-sur-Mer"), just southeast of [Nice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice "Nice"), in June 1930. This was the same ship that carried Jules Rimet and the footballers representing France, Romania, and Belgium who were participating in the tournament that year. The first team to be awarded the trophy was [Uruguay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay_national_football_team "Uruguay national football team"), the winners of the [1930 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_FIFA_World_Cup "1930 FIFA World Cup").[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-8) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg/250px-Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg) [Jules Rimet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Rimet "Jules Rimet") presents the World Cup trophy to [Raúl Jude](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_Jude "Raúl Jude"), president of the Uruguayan Football Association, winners of the inaugural [1930 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_FIFA_World_Cup "1930 FIFA World Cup"). This trophy was renamed for Rimet in 1946. During World War II, the trophy was held by [1938](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_FIFA_World_Cup "1938 FIFA World Cup") champion [Italy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_national_football_team "Italy national football team"). [Ottorino Barassi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottorino_Barassi "Ottorino Barassi"), the Italian vice-president of [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA") and president of [FIGC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Football_Federation "Italian Football Federation"), secretly transported the trophy from a bank in Rome and hid it in a shoe-box under his bed to prevent the [Nazis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazis "Nazis") from taking it.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-9) The [1958 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_FIFA_World_Cup "1958 FIFA World Cup") in Sweden marked the beginning of a tradition regarding the trophy. As Brazilian captain [Hilderaldo Bellini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilderaldo_Bellini "Hilderaldo Bellini") heard photographers' requests for a better view of the Jules Rimet Trophy, he lifted it up in the air. Every cup-winning captain since has repeated the gesture.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-10) On 20 March 1966, four months before the [1966 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_FIFA_World_Cup "1966 FIFA World Cup") in England, the [trophy was stolen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy "1966 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy") during a public exhibition at [Westminster Central Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodist_Central_Hall_Westminster "Methodist Central Hall Westminster").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-11) It was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, [Upper Norwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Norwood "Upper Norwood"), [South London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_London "South London"), by a black and white collie dog named [Pickles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickles_$dog$ "Pickles (dog)").[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-12)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-13) As a security measure, the (English) [Football Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Football_Association "The Football Association") secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in exhibitions rather than the original. This replica was used on occasions until the original trophy had to be handed back to FIFA for the [next competition in 1970](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_FIFA_World_Cup "1970 FIFA World Cup"). Since FIFA had explicitly denied the FA permission to create a replica, the replica also had to disappear from public view and was for many years kept under its creator's bed. This replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) The high auction price, 10 times the reserve price of £20,000–30,000, was led by speculation that the auctioned trophy was not the replica trophy but the original itself. Testing by FIFA confirmed the auctioned trophy was a replica.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) Soon afterwards FIFA arranged for the replica to be lent for display at the English [National Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_Museum "National Football Museum"), which was then based in [Preston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston,_Lancashire "Preston, Lancashire") but is now in [Manchester](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester "Manchester").[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-15) The [Brazilian team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team "Brazil national football team") won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-16) It was put on display at the [Brazilian Football Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Football_Confederation "Brazilian Football Confederation") headquarters in [Rio de Janeiro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro "Rio de Janeiro"), in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-17) On 19 December 1983, [the trophy was stolen again](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy "1983 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy"). The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-18) Four men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19) The trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) However, some believe the trophy was not melted down (as it did not actually contain enough gold to produce gold bars if melted down) and was instead sold onto the black market and may still exist.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Kuper_2012-20) Only one piece of the Jules Rimet Trophy has been found, the original base, which FIFA had kept in a basement of the federation's Zürich headquarters prior to 2015.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-21) The Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made by [Eastman Kodak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastman_Kodak "Eastman Kodak"), using 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb) of gold. This replica was presented to [Brazilian military](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_military_dictatorship "Brazilian military dictatorship") [president](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Brazil "President of Brazil") [João Figueiredo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_Figueiredo "João Figueiredo") in 1984.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19) ## New trophy \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: New trophy")\] [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG/250px-Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg/120px-Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg) [Diego Maradona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Maradona "Diego Maradona") (left) and [Antoine Griezmann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Griezmann "Antoine Griezmann") (right) with the trophy in 1986 and 2018, respectively A replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the [1974 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_FIFA_World_Cup "1974 FIFA World Cup"). Fifty-three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-22) Italian artist [Silvio Gazzaniga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Gazzaniga "Silvio Gazzaniga") was awarded the commission. The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 in) tall and is made using 5.0 kilograms (11.0 lb) of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US\$407,725 as of 25-AUG-2025. Its base is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in diameter containing two layers of [malachite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite "Malachite") which adds another 1.175 kilograms (2.59 lb) to the total weight. Chemist [Sir Martyn Poliakoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Martyn_Poliakoff "Sir Martyn Poliakoff") claims that the trophy is hollow, because if it were solid gold, the trophy would weigh 70–80 kilograms (150–180 lb) and would be too heavy to lift;[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-23)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-24) the trophy's original manufacturer has confirmed its hollowness.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-25)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-26) Produced by [GDE Bertoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDE_Bertoni "GDE Bertoni") in [Paderno Dugnano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paderno_Dugnano "Paderno Dugnano"), it depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory".[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) The Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) [Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_national_football_team "Germany national football team") became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the [2014 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup"),[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-27) and [Argentina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team "Argentina national football team") became the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the [2022 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"). The trophy has the engraving "FIFA World Cup" on its base. After the [1994 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup"), a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, "1974 Deutschland" or "1994 Brasil". In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as "2010 Spain" in English, not in Spanish.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-globo-28)[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-uol-live-29) This was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-30) As of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base. The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) The original trophy is now permanently kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Museum "FIFA Museum") in Zürich, Switzerland. It leaves there only when it goes on its FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. It is present at the Final draw for the next World Cup, and on the pitch at the World Cup opening game and Final.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy_Tour-31) The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour was inaugurated for the [2006 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup "2006 FIFA World Cup") competition.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-WCTT-2006-32) On 3 December 2025, [Lego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego "Lego") announced that a version of the FIFA World Cup Trophy would be released in March 2026 ahead of the [2026 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup "2026 FIFA World Cup"). ## Winners \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Winners")\] See also: [List of FIFA World Cup finals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_finals "List of FIFA World Cup finals") Historic list of all holders of the trophy (winners of the FIFA World Cup).

The production cost of the current trophy is estimated at \$242,700.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-1) The first trophy, originally named Victory, but renamed in honor of [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA") president [Jules Rimet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Rimet "Jules Rimet"), was made of gold plated [sterling silver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_silver "Sterling silver") and a [lapis lazuli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli "Lapis lazuli") base. It depicted [Nike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_$mythology$ "Nike (mythology)"), the Greek goddess of victory. [Brazil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team "Brazil national football team") was awarded the trophy in perpetuity following their third title in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement. The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered. The subsequent trophy, called the "FIFA World Cup Trophy", was introduced in [1974](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_FIFA_World_Cup "1974 FIFA World Cup"). Made of 18 karat gold with bands of [malachite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite "Malachite") on its base, it stands 36.8 centimetres (14.5 in) high and weighs 6.175 kilograms (13.61 lb).[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-2) The trophy was made by the [GDE Bertoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDE_Bertoni "GDE Bertoni") company in Italy.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-3) It depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The current holders of the trophy are [Argentina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team "Argentina national football team"), winners of the [2022 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"). The trophy is kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Museum "FIFA Museum") in Zürich, Switzerland, and leaves there only on select occasions. World Cup winners receive a gold-plated bronze replica, which they possess until the next World Cup final and in perpetuity if they have won it three times.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) Only a selected few are officially allowed to touch the trophy with bare hands, including [players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_players "List of FIFA World Cup winning players") and [managers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_winning_managers "List of FIFA World Cup winning managers") who have won the competition, heads of state, and FIFA officials.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-5) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg/250px-Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jules_Rimet_trophy_replica.jpg) Jules Rimet Trophy replica on display in the English [National Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_Museum "National Football Museum"). The original was stolen from Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered. The [Jules Rimet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Rimet "Jules Rimet") Cup was the original trophy of the [FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup "FIFA World Cup"). Originally called "Victory", but generally known simply as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was renamed in 1946 to honour the [FIFA President](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_President "FIFA President") Jules Rimet, who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. It was designed by French sculptor [Abel Lafleur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Lafleur "Abel Lafleur") and made of gold-plated sterling silver on a [lapis lazuli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli "Lapis lazuli") base.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-6) In 1954 the base was replaced with a taller version to accommodate more winners' details. It stood 35 centimetres (14 in) high and weighed 3.8 kilograms (8.4 lb).[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-7) It comprised a decagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing [Nike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_$mythology$ "Nike (mythology)"), the ancient Greek goddess of victory. The Jules Rimet Trophy was taken to Uruguay for the first FIFA World Cup aboard the [Conte Verde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Conte_Verde "SS Conte Verde"), which set sail from [Villefranche-sur-Mer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villefranche-sur-Mer "Villefranche-sur-Mer"), just southeast of [Nice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice "Nice"), in June 1930. This was the same ship that carried Jules Rimet and the footballers representing France, Romania, and Belgium who were participating in the tournament that year. The first team to be awarded the trophy was [Uruguay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay_national_football_team "Uruguay national football team"), the winners of the [1930 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_FIFA_World_Cup "1930 FIFA World Cup").[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-8) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg/250px-Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jules_Rimet_presents_1930_FIFA_Cup_to_Ra%C3%BAl_Jude_1974_stamp_of_Nicaragua.jpg) [Jules Rimet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Rimet "Jules Rimet") presents the World Cup trophy to [Raúl Jude](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_Jude "Raúl Jude"), president of the Uruguayan Football Association, winners of the inaugural [1930 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1930_FIFA_World_Cup "1930 FIFA World Cup"). This trophy was renamed for Rimet in 1946. During World War II, the trophy was held by [1938](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_FIFA_World_Cup "1938 FIFA World Cup") champion [Italy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_national_football_team "Italy national football team"). [Ottorino Barassi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottorino_Barassi "Ottorino Barassi"), the Italian vice-president of [FIFA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA "FIFA") and president of [FIGC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Football_Federation "Italian Football Federation"), secretly transported the trophy from a bank in Rome and hid it in a shoe-box under his bed to prevent the [Nazis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazis "Nazis") from taking it.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-9) The [1958 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_FIFA_World_Cup "1958 FIFA World Cup") in Sweden marked the beginning of a tradition regarding the trophy. As Brazilian captain [Hilderaldo Bellini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilderaldo_Bellini "Hilderaldo Bellini") heard photographers' requests for a better view of the Jules Rimet Trophy, he lifted it up in the air. Every cup-winning captain since has repeated the gesture.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-10) On 20 March 1966, four months before the [1966 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_FIFA_World_Cup "1966 FIFA World Cup") in England, the [trophy was stolen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy "1966 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy") during a public exhibition at [Westminster Central Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodist_Central_Hall_Westminster "Methodist Central Hall Westminster").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-11) It was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, [Upper Norwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Norwood "Upper Norwood"), [South London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_London "South London"), by a black and white collie dog named [Pickles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickles_$dog$ "Pickles (dog)").[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-12)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-13) As a security measure, the (English) [Football Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Football_Association "The Football Association") secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in exhibitions rather than the original. This replica was used on occasions until the original trophy had to be handed back to FIFA for the [next competition in 1970](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_FIFA_World_Cup "1970 FIFA World Cup"). Since FIFA had explicitly denied the FA permission to create a replica, the replica also had to disappear from public view and was for many years kept under its creator's bed. This replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) The high auction price, 10 times the reserve price of £20,000–30,000, was led by speculation that the auctioned trophy was not the replica trophy but the original itself. Testing by FIFA confirmed the auctioned trophy was a replica.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Simon_Kuper_2006-14) Soon afterwards FIFA arranged for the replica to be lent for display at the English [National Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_Museum "National Football Museum"), which was then based in [Preston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston,_Lancashire "Preston, Lancashire") but is now in [Manchester](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester "Manchester").[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-15) The [Brazilian team](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team "Brazil national football team") won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-16) It was put on display at the [Brazilian Football Confederation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Football_Confederation "Brazilian Football Confederation") headquarters in [Rio de Janeiro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro "Rio de Janeiro"), in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-17) On 19 December 1983, [the trophy was stolen again](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_theft_of_the_Jules_Rimet_Trophy "1983 theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy"). The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-18) Four men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19) The trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) However, some believe the trophy was not melted down (as it did not actually contain enough gold to produce gold bars if melted down) and was instead sold onto the black market and may still exist.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-Kuper_2012-20) Only one piece of the Jules Rimet Trophy has been found, the original base, which FIFA had kept in a basement of the federation's Zürich headquarters prior to 2015.[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-21) The Confederation commissioned a replica of their own, made by [Eastman Kodak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastman_Kodak "Eastman Kodak"), using 1.8 kilograms (4.0 lb) of gold. This replica was presented to [Brazilian military](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_military_dictatorship "Brazilian military dictatorship") [president](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Brazil "President of Brazil") [João Figueiredo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_Figueiredo "João Figueiredo") in 1984.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-ap-19) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG/250px-Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maradona-Mundial_86_con_la_copa.JPG) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg/120px-Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Antoine_Griezmann_World_Cup_Trophy.jpg) A replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the [1974 World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_FIFA_World_Cup "1974 FIFA World Cup"). Fifty-three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4)[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-22) Italian artist [Silvio Gazzaniga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Gazzaniga "Silvio Gazzaniga") was awarded the commission. The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 in) tall and is made using 5.0 kilograms (11.0 lb) of 18 karat (75%) gold, worth approximately US\$407,725 as of 25-AUG-2025. Its base is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in diameter containing two layers of [malachite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite "Malachite") which adds another 1.175 kilograms (2.59 lb) to the total weight. Chemist [Sir Martyn Poliakoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Martyn_Poliakoff "Sir Martyn Poliakoff") claims that the trophy is hollow, because if it were solid gold, the trophy would weigh 70–80 kilograms (150–180 lb) and would be too heavy to lift;[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-23)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-24) the trophy's original manufacturer has confirmed its hollowness.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-25)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-26) Produced by [GDE Bertoni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDE_Bertoni "GDE Bertoni") in [Paderno Dugnano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paderno_Dugnano "Paderno Dugnano"), it depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory".[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) The Cup used to be kept by the winning team until the final draw of the next tournament, but that is no longer the case. Instead the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold-plated rather than solid gold. Likewise, three-time winners keep the replica instead of the original cup.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) [Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_national_football_team "Germany national football team") became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the [2014 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup "2014 FIFA World Cup"),[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-27) and [Argentina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team "Argentina national football team") became the second nation following their third win in Qatar at the [2022 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup "2022 FIFA World Cup"). The trophy has the engraving "FIFA World Cup" on its base. After the [1994 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup "1994 FIFA World Cup"), a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language – for example, "1974 Deutschland" or "1994 Brasil". In 2010, the name of the winning nation was engraved as "2010 Spain" in English, not in Spanish.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-globo-28)[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-uol-live-29) This was corrected in the new plate made after the 2018 World Cup.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-30) As of 2022, twelve winners have been engraved on the base. The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-newtrophy-4) The original trophy is now permanently kept at the [FIFA World Football Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Museum "FIFA Museum") in Zürich, Switzerland. It leaves there only when it goes on its FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. It is present at the Final draw for the next World Cup, and on the pitch at the World Cup opening game and Final.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy_Tour-31) The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour was inaugurated for the [2006 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup "2006 FIFA World Cup") competition.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_Trophy#cite_note-WCTT-2006-32) On 3 December 2025, [Lego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego "Lego") announced that a version of the FIFA World Cup Trophy would be released in March 2026 ahead of the [2026 FIFA World Cup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup "2026 FIFA World Cup").
