What is the name of the current World Cup championship trophy?

It's called the "Hercules Cup".

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 image was designed by an Italian sculptor, with two strong men holding the ball in both hands, symbolizing brilliance and glory, and the name is also based on this image.

This one is based on the official naming, mainly after the FIFA World Cup trophy, and then abbreviated, known as the Hercules Cup.

It is named by the designer of the championship trophy, because the designer understands the meaning of the trophy best, so the trophy is named.

It's called the Hercules Cup, and it's named after an Italian sculptor because he designed it.

In fact, there have been 2 genuine World Cup championship trophies in the history of the World Cup. Now slippery infiltrated in the familiar Hercules Cup belongs to the second generation of trophies. Before it, there was the first generation of trophies, the Remet Cup.

This may be the reason for a country to have the Hercules Cup in perpetuity. Because the first generation of the World Cup trophy did indeed usher in its true owner, Brazil. Because the FIFA rule at that time was that whichever country could win the World Cup three times, this pure handicap country could have the real World Cup trophy forever.

Brazil won the World Cup three times, in 1958, 1962 and 1970, and according to the rules of the time, Brazilians could keep the "Remet Gold Cup", named after the first FIFA president, Mr. Remet. Unfortunately, in 1983, the much-ordained World Cup trophy was stolen in Brazil, and it was eventually melted down by thieves and disappeared into history.

And the Hercules Cup that we can see today is the second trophy of the FIFA World Cup. It has been 48 years since the 1974 World Cup in Germany. But thanks to FIFA, they learned the lesson of being won the real World Cup trophy by Brazil.

Since the Hercules Cup, FIFA has abolished the rule that if you win the World Cup three times, you can permanently have the championship trophy as a cup. FIFA stipulates that the country that wins the World Cup can only temporarily own the Hercules Cup for 4 years. However, the winner of the trophy can have their name engraved under the base of the cup and can have a permanent replica of the cup.
