Which country initiated the World Cup?

The history of the development of the Football World Cup.

Modern football originated in England and then took the world by storm. Due to the rapid development of football, international competitions have also emerged. When the 1896 Athens Olympics were held, football was an official sport, and Denmark finished with 9:

0 defeated Greece and became the first football champion of the Olympic Games. Because professional athletes were not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, by the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, football was no longer sustainable.

After the 1928 Olympic Games, FIFA convened a meeting of delegates and unanimously passed a resolution to hold the quadrennial World Football Championship. This has played a positive role in promoting the further development and improvement of world football. Initially, this new football tournament was called the "World Football Championship".

In 1956, FIFA held a meeting in Luxembourg and decided to change the name to the "Remet Cup". This is in recognition of the achievements of former FIFA President Frenchman Rimet for football. Remet served as president of FIFA for 33 years (1921-1954) and was the initiator and organizer of the World Football Championship.

Later, it was suggested that the two names should be combined and called "World Football Championship - Remet Cup". As a result, at the Helsinki meeting, it was decided to change the name to the "World Football Championship - Remet Cup", or "World Cup" for short.

The trophy of the World Cup was a special FIFA prize for the winner in 1928 and was cast by the famous Parisian jeweller Freel. The model is Nikai, the legendary Greek goddess of victory, dressed in an ancient Roman tunic with her arms outstretched and a large cup in her hand. The statue is made of solid gold, weighs 1,800 grams, is 30 centimeters high, and stands on a marble base.

Whoever wins the trophy will keep the gold cup for four years and return it to FIFA before the next cup to be awarded to the new world champion. There is also an additional stipulation: whoever wins the World Championship three times will always receive the cup.

In 1970, at the time of the ninth World Cup, Uruguay, Italy and Brazil had already won the championship twice. Therefore, there is a chance to occupy the cup forever, and the result is that the Brazilian team won the cup first.

For this reason, FIFA has to prepare a new trophy to be awarded to the next champion. In May 1971, FIFA held a new cup review meeting, and after evaluating 53 options, it was decided to adopt the design of the Italian Gazzania - the design of two wrestlers with their hands on the earth. This image is a symbol of the power and scale of sport.

The new cup is named the "FIFA World Cup". The cup was 36 centimeters high, weighed 5 kilograms, and was worth $20,000 at the time. In the 10th World Cup in 1974, West Germany won the new cup for the first time as champions.

This time, FIFA has stipulated that the new cup is a mobile prize, and no matter how many titles a team wins, it will not be able to take possession of the cup.

In a report, it was pointed out that "football can bring eternal faith and true peace to mankind", and a special committee was organized to study and organize.

The feasibility of the World Cup, May 26, 1928 at the FIFA Congress in Rotterdam, was voted by delegates 25:5 every four years.
