The World Cup was a special prize created by FIFA in 1928 for the winners, and was cast by Freel, a famous jewelry technician in Paris. The Remet Cup and the Hercules Cup.
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 reviewing 53 options, it was decided to adopt the design of the Italian Gazzania - the design of two wrestlers holding the earth with both hands. This image represents the scale of the world's number one movement.
The new trophy was named the "Hercules Cup". The cup is centimeters high and weighs kilograms, where the body of the kilogram is cast from real pure gold. The base is made of two layers of malachite, which is extremely valuable.
In the 10th World Cup in 1974, Germany received the new cup for the first time as the 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 perpetuity. Beneath the base of the Hercules Cup is a nameplate engraved with the names of 17 champions – which can last until 2038.
The Hercules Cup is the trophy of the current Football World Cup and a symbol of the highest honor in the football world.
The Hercules Cup is by no means comparable to any other trophy in the world in terms of structure, value, and preciousness.

The World Cup, which takes place every four years, has always attracted hundreds of millions of fans around the world, so how did it come about and develop? In May 1928, in order to meet the needs of the development of modern football, FIFA held a congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the participants unanimously adopted the decision to host the World Cup football tournament. The first FIFA World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930 and has been held every four years since then.
At the FIFA conference held in Luxembourg in 1956, it was proposed to change the name of the "World Football Championship" to the "Remet Cup" in recognition of the outstanding contribution of the former FIFA president and Frenchman Remet to the cause of football. Later, it was proposed to link the two names together and call it the "World Football Championship - Remet Cup". Later, at the meeting of representatives in Helborne, Finland, the name was changed to the "World Football Championship - Remet Cup", or "World Cup" for short, and the name is still used today.
There are two championship trophies in the World Cup, and the first "Golden Goddess Cup" is made of pure gold. The cup weighs kilograms, stands on a marble base, and is 30 centimeters high. It was made by Ferrer, a famous jewelry designer in Paris, France.
He modeled on Nikai, the winged goddess of victory in Greek mythology, and created a woman dressed in ancient Roman costume, with her arms outstretched and holding her cup high. FIFA stipulated that the team that won the World Cup would remain in the Gold Cup until the next tournament. But at the same time, it is stipulated that the country that won the championship three times will always have this gold cup.
In the 1970 World Cup held in Mexico, the Brazilian team won the championship for the third time, so the "Golden Goddess Cup" flew to Brazil and settled forever. Unfortunately, someone later stole the gold cup and melted it down. In 1971, FIFA selected 52 designs for the creation of the new trophy, and the Italian Gazzania was selected for the design.
The trophy he designed was the shape of two strong men holding a globe in both hands. This gold cup is 36 centimeters high, weighs 5 kilograms, and is called the "FIFA World Cup". Trophies are fluid.
Since 1930, the World Cup has been held 15 times, and only six countries have won the championship. They are: Brazil 4 times, Germany 3 times, Italy 3 times, Uruguay 2 times, Argentina 2 times, England 1 time.
