[Edit this paragraph] The predecessor of the World Cup-Rimet Cup.

The predecessor of the World Cup was the Rimet Cup. After FIFA decided to hold the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, the French sculptor Abel La Fleur made a pure gold trophy for the winning team. The trophy is placed on a pedestal inlaid with precious stones. The goddess of victory stretched out her arms and held an octagonal trophy sculpture, weighing 3.8 kilograms and 35 centimeters high. In memory of President Rimet, the founder of FIFA World Cup, the trophy was named "Rimet Cup". But in the three World Cups before the outbreak of World War II (1930, 1934, 1938), it was only called the World Cup. At that time, the International Football Federation stipulated that any national team that won the World Cup three times would always have the Rimet Cup. 1970 After Brazil won the championship for the third time in Mexico City, the Brazilian Football Association permanently collected the then champion trophy "Rimet Cup". During World War II, in order to avoid the invading army, the trophy was hidden under the bed of an Italian family. 1966, it was stolen in the process of opening the exhibition to the public before the World Cup in Britain. Although searched by the British police in many ways, they all ended in failure. In the end, the trophy was found in the trash can in the suburbs by a mongrel dog named Pickets. 1983, the trophy was stolen again in Brazil. It is estimated that the trophy had been melted by the thief at that time. The Brazilian Football Association made a replica, which has been preserved to this day.
