About this deal

The journey of the FIFA World Cup trophy started with Jules Rimet, the third president of world football governing body FIFA. He laid down the plans for a football World Cup in 1928 and subsequently passed a vote the following year to hold the first edition in Uruguay in 1930. In 1946, it was renamed the Jules Rimet Trophy in honour of the erstwhile FIFA president’s 25th anniversary in office. The FIFA World Cup trophy is 36.5 cm tall and is made of 6.175 kg of 18 karats (75%) gold. It has a circular base, 13 cm in diameter, made of two layers of malachite.

The second theft took place while the Victory trophy was in Brazil’s custody. After Brazil received the guardianship of the trophy, it was kept on public display in a bulletproof case at the Brazilian Football Confederation headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. Even though four men were convicted of the crime, the 3.8kg trophy was never recovered. It is widely believed that the gold-plated sterling silver trophy has been melted and sold. The Jules Rimet Trophy had had quite a fascinating history. When World War II broke out, Italy was the current world champion. So Ottorino Barassi, who was vice-President of FIFA and President of Italy’s football federation, took it upon himself to hide the trophy from the clutches of the Nazis. Barassi hid the trophy in a shoebox under his bed while the war raged in most of Europe. But being one of the most recognisable sporting symbols in the globe and consequently, the high value associated with it has also brought its fair share of unwanted attention to the iconic piece of silverware. This has made the FIFA World Cup trophy the centrepiece of some intriguing plots off the field as well. FIFA World Cup trophy iterations Football's World Cup stolen". BBC News. 20 March 1966. Archived from the original on 5 September 2015 . Retrieved 28 June 2010.The trophy stayed safe under Barassi’s bed until the World Cup returned after WWII in 1950 in Brazil. Barassi, who was integral to Italy hosting the 1938 edition, also spearheaded the operations for hosting the 1950 edition. The old trophy’s exciting journey didn’t end there as it ended up being stolen on a couple of occasions. The first incident took place in England ahead of the 1966 World Cup. The Jules Rimet Trophy was put on a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall on 20 March 1966, when the theft took place.

Germany and Argentina are the most successful nations, having lifted the FIFA World Cup Trophy on three separate occasions. Two triumphs, 1974 and 1990, were credited to West Germany. West Germany was also the first country to lift the trophy in 1974.Sculptors from seven countries sent in 53 submissions for the new design but eventually, it was commissioned to Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga. It remains the Three Lions’ only World Cup win to date and Queen Elizabeth II herself presented the trophy to Sir Bobby Moore.
