How a theft made the sculpture iconic
The World Cup trophy, one of the most important sports symbols in the world, features an Italian design by sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga and weighs approximately 6.142 kilograms, of which more than 5 kilograms are made of 18-carat gold. It has been officially used since 1974, replacing the Jules Rimet Cup after two thefts in history—the first in England in 1966 and the second in Brazil in 1983, the latter of which is believed to have been melted down. The trophy symbolizes hope and competition, and it is displayed at the FIFA Museum in Zurich, where the original copy is kept, while the winners are awarded a gold-plated replica.
