There are two World Cup trophies in history, one is the "Remet Cup" named after FIFA President Jules Remet, and the other is the Hercules Cup designed by Silvio Gazzaniga, which is also the current World Cup trophy, the main body of the Remet Cup is the image of the Greek goddess of victory Nike, Nikai wears a long dress, her unique wings, and holds up a large cup with both hands, symbolizing victory and honor. The trophy is made of sterling silver and is 35 centimeters high and weighs about kilograms, with a gold medal on each side of the base, on which is inscribed with the name of the champion team. In 1950, the trophy was named the "Remet Cup" in recognition of FIFA President Remet for founding the tournament.

According to the rules, the first team to win the World Cup three times will be able to keep the Remet Cup in perpetuity, and the Brazilian national football team under the leadership of football champion Pele won the 1958 World Cup in Sweden and Chile in 1962, and won the Cup for the third time in the 1970 World Cup, and will win the Cup permanently.

In 1970, Brazil became the first team to win the World Cup three times, and since then Brazil has retained the Remet Cup permanently, so FIFA needed to produce a new trophy for the 1974 World Cup. In 1971, the Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga was selected among a total of 53 works from 7 countries, and the "Hercules Cup", the highest honor in football, was born. The trophy, which is still in use today, is 36 cm tall and weighs 6,175 grams, made of 18k** and has a base set with two dark green malachite rings.

Gasaniga, the designer of the Hercules Cup, describes his work as follows: "Several curves extending from the pedestal extend upwards in a spiral, all the way to the shape of the earth at the top. The two athletes who are the main body of the statue are designed to express the thrilling moment of victory.

The base of the Hercules Cup can be engraved with the names of the countries that won the 17 World Cups from 1974 to 2038, in other words, after the 2038 World Cup, the Hercules Cup will be retired and replaced by a new generation of trophies.

Regarding the image of the trophy, designer Gazzaniga described it this way: "The line starts from the base and rises in a spiral curve, and the image of the two athletes emerges, stretching upwards to lift the whole earth, a symbol of brilliance and glory." "On the base of the trophy, the names of the champions from 1974 onwards are engraved on it, and the trophy has enough space to accommodate the names of all the champions until the 2038 World Cup.

Originally, the trophy cost about $50,000 and was estimated at $10 million. Regarding the name of this trophy, it is officially set as "FIFA World Cup Trophy", but according to the image of two athletes holding up the earth, many people are accustomed to calling it "Hercules Cup". Similarly, the Remet Cup, which was used before 1974, was also known as the "Goddess Cup" because of its image of Nikai, the Greek goddess of victory.
