How many times has the Hercules Cup not changed?

Present"Hercules Cup"Designed by the Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga, this is not technically a trophy. The entire sculpture is made of 18k**, is 36 cm high and weighs 4,970 grams. The base is set with two green malachite rings.

The gold part of the ring is designed with 17 spaces"Heroes list", which is used to engrave the name of the championship team - this"Heroes list"It can record all the World Cup winners up to 2038. So far,"Heroes list"Seven names have been written down: Germany (1974 and 1990), Argentina (1978 and 1986), Italy (1982), Brazil (1994) and France (1998).

In 1956, at a meeting of FIFA in Luxembourg, it was 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 the "World Football Championship--- the 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 created by FIFA in 1928 for the winners, 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 tournament 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, Uruguay, Italy and Brazil had already won the ninth World Cup.

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 also had to prepare a new trophy to be awarded to the Nether champions. In May 1971, FIFA held a review meeting for the new cup, and after reviewing 53 options, it was decided to adopt the design plan of the Italian Gazzania --- the design plan of two wrestlers with both 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 1974, in the 10th World Cup, West Germany won the new cup for the first time. 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.
