History of World Cup Football Championship
World Cup Football Championship The World Cup has always stood and will stand a mansion in a number of sports trophies: their history and fans, and fans, and myths and legends associated with the main football prize, often force athletes to perform feats. Who and how created the FIFA ™ World Cup and what stories this trophy got into:
- Until 1970, the winners were awarded the Julie Rome Prize (or the Jules Rome Cup), which initially called the "victory".
- In 1929, the third president of FIFA Jul Rome agreed to hold the first worldwide football tournamentAnd a year later I handed the Cup of the Uruguayan team - the first triumphs of the World Cup.
- After World War II, the Cup began to officially wear the name Rome. The prize was an image of an ancient Greek goddess of Victory, who kept an octagonal bowl over the head. The figurine weighing 3.8 kg was made of gold-plated silver, and its base is from Lazurit. The trophy was often called the "golden goddess".
- By the beginning of World War II, the Cup was stored by Italians - World Champions in 1938. Because of the confusion and danger, the proposed precious trophy in the country, the President of the Italian Federation of Football Football Funnelly Barasi decided to theft. He secretly took the cup from the bank storage and hid it in the box from under his shoes under his bed, fearing that the prize could get to the fascists. But he managed to preserve and already in 1950 to transfer the first post-war champions - the Uruguay team.
- On the ninth of the world championship, which was held in Mexico in June 1970, the Brazilian national team was the champion for the third time. According to the rules of the FIFA, the FIFA Rules have been forever given to the winners.
- In 1970, the Cup moved to Brazil. In December 1983, the world shocked the message - the Greek goddess of Victory is no longer. The attackers kidnapped the cup from the building of the Brazilian Football Confederation in Rio de Janeiro. Find the cup so and failed
- After the transfer of the prize of Jules Rome Brazilians FIFA had to book a new trophy. In 1971, a competition of layouts of the future cup was announced, their sketches were sent 53 sculptors from seven countries. Hazzanig, who subsequently became the author of the Cup.
The sculptor Silvio Gazzanig is working on the creation of the World Cup, 1971. The cup had the difference from its predecessor:
- It was made of 18-carat gold weighing 5 kg.
- The height of the trophy is 36.5 cm, and the total weight is 6.142 kg.
- The base of the award with a diameter of 13 cm is decorated with two layers of malachite selected by the color of the football field.
- In the Cup itself, two human figures are depicted, which are supported by both hands the globe, crowning trophy.
Until 2006, the Cup was transferred to the country who won in the tournament, and she kept a trophy for the final draw of the FIFA World Championship. Now, according to the current FIFA rules, the trophy is not transferred to the winners, the winners of the FIFA ™ World Cup winners are awarded to them.
The trophy itself is stored since 2016 at the FIFA World Football Museum in Zurich and is exposed only during a trophy tour conducted by Coca Cola on the final draw of the World Championship and during the final match of the tournament. In 2006, the original FIFA World Cup began to travel around the world as part of his tour, which is held with FIFA COCA-COLA partner.
