RIO De JANERIO: We are just 17 days away from the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) World cup 2014, we have gathered some interesting facts about the trophy.
The FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be held in Brazil from June 12 to July 13. This is the biggest prize in the games history.
You have seen the trophy in pictures on your screen, and guessing that the winners will have their hands on gold, but its not true.
The trophy was introduced in 1974, which has space for 17 inscriptions enough for all the winners until 2038.
The FIFA World Cup trophy is made of 18-carat gold, stands 36.8cm high and weighs 6.175kg.
The original Trophy’s remains are in the permanent possession of FIFA, with every winning team awarded a replica.
The champions are then able to retain their version of the Trophy, while a fresh copy is made for each new edition.
So that’s the interesting reality behind the 18 carat gold trophy.
