What is that trophy from the World Cup?

The Hercules Cup, high centimeters, weighs kilograms, including kilograms of 18k pure gold casting. The base is made of two layers of malachite and can hold 17 small nameplates engraved with the names of the champions – enough for the 2038 World Cup. FIFA has also re-stipulated that the new Champions Gold Cup can no longer be owned permanently, but will be 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 Gold Cup".

The Hercules Cup is the trophy of the current Football World Cup and a symbol of the highest honor in the football world. In the 1970 World Cup in Mexico City, after the three-time World Cup winning Brazil team permanently owned the "Remet Gold Cup", FIFA solicited a new World Cup winner Gold Cup proposal, and received a total of 53 proposals from 7 countries, and finally the works of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga were selected. Silvio Gazzaniga himself describes his creation:

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 whole trophy looks like two Hercules holding up the earth, so it is also called the "Hercules Gold Cup".

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 "Hercules Cup".

Trophies·· It seems to be Greek mythology...

The Hercules Cup, the previous one called the Remet Cup, was permanently preserved by Brazil.

Pure gold. It's not yours to win. The next time, which one wins, he will take it again.

In 1971, the creativity of the Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga was selected among a total of 53 works from 7 countries, and the "Hercules Cup", the symbol of the highest honor in football, was born. The trophy, which is still in use today, is 36 cm tall and weighs 4,970 grams, made of 18k** and has a base set with two rings of dark green malachite. The designer of the Hercules Cup, Gasaniga, described his work this way:

Several curves extend from the pedestal in a spiral upward, all the way to the globe shape at the top. The two athletes who are the main body of the statue are designed to express the thrilling moment of victory. ”

At the bottom of it is engraved the name of the team obtained.

Due to the restructuring, even if a country wins five World Cups, it can only get the Hercules Cup, which is specially copied by FIFA, as a souvenir.

The real Hercules Cup can only be saved for 4 years by the winning team until the birth of the next champion!!

The Hercules Cup can be used until 2038!!
