trophy

The Rimet Cup and the Titan Cup
The World Cup trophy is a special award for the FIFA World Cup champion in 1928, which was cast by the famous jewelry technician Friel in Paris. Its model is the goddess of victory in Greek legend Niche She wore an ancient Roman tunic with her arms outstretched and a large cup in her hand.
The gold cup is 35 cm high and weighs 3.8 kg. It is made of gold plated silver cup and stands on a marble base. This cup is a mobile prize, and whoever wins the Gold Cup can keep it for 4 years and return it to FIFA before the next cup, so that it can be awarded to a new world champion. There is also an additional rule: whoever wins the World championship three times will always get the cup.
At the ninth World Cup in 1970, Uruguay , Italy , Brazil Both have won two championships. Therefore, they have the chance to hold the cup forever, and the result is that Brazil wins first and owns the cup. FIFA will also have to prepare a new trophy for the next champion. In May 1971, FIFA (International Football Association) The new cup review Council was held, and after reviewing 53 schemes, it was decided to adopt the design of the Italian Gazagna - the design of two strongmen holding up the earth with their hands.
This shape symbolizes the scale of the world's first movement. The new trophy will be named" The World Cup ". The cup is 36.8 cm tall and weighs 6.175 kg, of which the body of 4.97 kg is cast from genuine pure gold. The base is made of two layers of malachite, which is extremely valuable.
According to FIFA rules, the new Cup is a mobile prize, no matter how many titles the team wins, it can not permanently own the cup. Under the base of the World Cup there is a nameplate with the names of 17 World Cup winners - which will last until 2038.

EDITOR
As the most influential single sports event in the world today, the World Cup has also begun to become increasingly commercialized, and the high sponsorship contracts are staggering. The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa awarded a total of $400 million in prize money to each team, setting a record for the highest prize money in world sports history.
Participating countries also offer large bonuses to players and teams to stimulate performance.

Economic effect

The direct economic effect of the World Cup on the host country is immediate, as early as 1982, Spain received as much as $6.3 billion in tourism income because of the hosting of the World Cup, and the 2006 World Cup in Germany brought $11 billion to $12 billion in direct economic income for Germany.
In some countries, such as China, although the national team has repeatedly failed to qualify for the World Cup, the World Cup still has an objective economic impact. Before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, as usual, China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) stipulated that only CCTV had the exclusive right to purchase the broadcast. Some media reported that CCTV's income in advertising fees alone exceeded 2 billion yuan, which can be said to be a huge profit. Some Chinese beer companies and even the stock market will be volatile because of the World Cup.
