Why is the trophy called Hercules? Why is it called the Hercules Cup?

Reason: The trophy is like two strong men holding up the earth.

The trophy of the Football World Cup is a symbol of the highest honor in the football world. At the 1938 World Cup in France, after Brazil, which won three World Cups, permanently owned the "Remet Gold Cup", FIFA solicited proposals for a new World Cup winner's Gold Cup, and received a total of 53 proposals from seven countries, and finally the work of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga was selected. The whole trophy looks like two Hercules holding up the earth, and is called the "Hercules Gold Cup".

The lines leap from the base and spiral upwards to the top to take on a globe, on which the dynamic, compact cup carves the image of two athletes who are excited after victory. The trophy is 36 cm tall and weighs about 5 kg, and is made of 18k ** with two rings of dark green malachite on its base.

The Hercules Cup was formerly known as the "Remet Cup", and after FIFA decided to host the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, the French sculptor Abel Lafleur made a solid gold trophy awarded to the winning team. The trophy is a sculpture of an octagonal trophy held by the goddess of victory with outstretched arms on a gem-encrusted base, weighing kilograms and 35 centimeters high. In honor of President Remet, the founder of the FIFA World Cup, the trophy was named "Remet Cup".

But in the three World Cups (1930, 1934, 1938) before the outbreak of World War II, it was only called the World Cup. At that time, the International Football Federation stipulated that any national team that could win the World Cup three times could have the Remet Cup in perpetuity, and after Brazil won the championship for the third time in Mexico City in 1970, the Brazilian Football Federation permanently collected the "Remet Cup", the championship trophy at that time. During World War II, the trophy was hidden under a bed in a house in Italy to avoid the invading army.

In 1966, before the World Cup was held in the United Kingdom, the exhibition was stolen in the process of opening it to the public, and although it was searched by many parties in the United Kingdom, it ended in failure. Eventually, the mutt, known as "Piquez", was recovered in a dumpster on the outskirts. In 1983, the trophy was stolen again in Brazil, and it is estimated that the trophy was dissolved by thieves at that time.

The Brazilian Football Federation made a replica that has been preserved to this day.

Hercules Cup is the name we Chinese call!

Because there are two wrestlers on his trophy, and his hands are high on the earth.

That's why we call him the Hercules Cup.

Actually, the real name is.

Remet Cup.

FIFA Organized Football World Cup!

The Hercules Cup is the highest honor in world football, and its name is mainly based on the creativity and shape of the trophy.

1. Before the Hercules Cup, the World Cup was the "Remet Gold Cup". However, in 1970, after Brazil won the "Remet Gold Cup" in perpetuity after three World Cup wins, FIFA began to solicit a new World Cup winner's Gold Cup, and FIFA finally decided to adopt the design of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga, namely the Hercules Cup.

2. The lines of the Hercules Cup jump out of the base, spiral upward, and take on a globe at the top, on this dynamic and compact cup, the image of two excited athletes after victory is carved. The whole trophy looks like two Hercules holding up the earth, so it is also called the "Hercules Gold Cup".

3. The Hercules cup is cast by **, with a height of 36 cm and a weight of kilograms. The base is made of two layers of malachite and can hold 17 small nameplates engraved with the names of the champions, which can be used until the 2038 World Cup.

4. The Hercules Cup cannot be owned permanently. FIFA stipulates that the new Gold Cup can no longer be owned permanently, but is owned by FIFA, and each country that wins the World Cup can only own it until the next World Cup, and as compensation, the country will receive a gilded replica of the "Hercules Cup".
