FIFA World Cup Trophy: Design, Ownership, and Future Replacement Plans

Analysed 19 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Italy·Sports
FIFA World Cup Trophy: Design, Ownership, and Future Replacement PlansPreviousNext

The FIFA World Cup Trophy, designed by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga in 1971, was introduced in 1974 as a symbol of football unity and triumph. Made of 18-carat gold with a malachite base, it features two human figures holding the Earth. Unlike its predecessor, the Jules Rimet Trophy, the current trophy remains with FIFA, with champions receiving replicas. Only four engraving spaces remain on the base, indicating the trophy will be replaced after the 2038 World Cup.
