Jules Rimet Trophy was the first reward for winning the Planet Cup. Originally called simply the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was renamed in 1946 to honor the FIFA President Jules Rimet who in 1929 passed a vote to begin your competitors. Created by Abel Lafleur and made from gold plated silver on a blue bottom of lapis lazuli, it stood 35 cm high and weighed 3.8 kilogram. It had been in the design of an octagonal glass, supported with a winged figure representing Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory.
Throughout World War II, the prize occured by Italy. Ottorino Barassi, the Italian vice-president of FIFA, hid it from the Germans in a under his bed.
Just prior to the 1966 World Cup Final in England the trophy was taken during a exhibition at Westminster Central Hall, but was found just 7 days later, wrapped in paper at the underside of a backyard hedge in Norwood, South London, by a dog called "Pickles." As a security measure, FIFA secretly produced a reproduction of the trophy for used in the post-match festivities. The replica was also utilized on subsequent events until 1970. The reproduction was sold at a market in 1997 for $425,015.There were many reproductions on e-bay at this time.
The Brazilian team won the prize for the next time in 1970, and were rewarded by being permitted to hold it in perpetuity. However, the cup was taken again in 1983 in Rio de Janeiro and never recovered; it might have now been melted down. The Brazilian Football Confederation commissioned a replica of their own.
The alternative prize, officially known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy, was presented at the 1974 World Cup. Designed by Silvio Gazzaniga, it stands 36 cm high and is constructed of 5 kg of 18 carat (75%) sound gold with a base containing two levels of malachite, and shows two human figures holding up the Earth. The name of the nation whose national team wins the tournament is engraved, as well as the year, in the bottom part of the prize. It's not known whether FIFA will retire the prize after most of the name plaques at the beds base are filled in; this will happen after the 2038 World Cup.
FIFA's rules now declare that the prize, unlike its predecessor, can not be gained outright: the winners of the event receive it on loan for four years and receive a replica to keep.
