So The World Cup Is Made From Gold, Am I Right ?

Notegolddiamond - I just found it from FIFA webpage, maybe some of you already knew it, but still this is an interesting fact to read. FIFA’s first World Cup trophy was the Coupe Jules Rimet which was permanently awarded to Brazil after the Selecao’s third win in 1970. It was later stolen, however, never to be seen again. The trophy was stolen once before when it was taken from an exhibition before the 1966 tournament in England. A small dog called Pickles later found it buried under a bush.

The FIFA World Cup™ trophy is a challenge cup that remains in the permanent possession of FIFA. Made of 18-carat gold for the 1974 tournament, it is 36.8cm high and weighs 6.175kg. The base has space for 17 inscriptions, which will suffice until the 2038 FIFA World Cup™. The winning association receives a replica until the next tournament but this is “only” gold-plated.
