FIFA World Cup Trophy Made of Gold; Winners Receive Replica, Not Original
The FIFA World Cup trophy, introduced in 1974, is made of solid 18-karat gold and weighs around 6.175 kilograms. Valued at over $700,000 in material worth, its historical and cultural significance raises its estimated value to over $15 million. The original trophy remains FIFA's property and is kept under tight security, with winning teams receiving a gold-plated replica to keep permanently. This practice replaced the earlier Jules Rimet Trophy, which was once awarded permanently to Brazil.
