Lost Treasure! The Jules Rimet Trophy-- will it ever be found?? The World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world. The winner of this event would take home a gold trophy from 1930 to 1970, called the Jules Rimet Trophy. Later, and until present day, the trophy presented to the winner of the World Cup is called the FIFA World Cup Trophy. The first trophy, the Jules Rimet, was renamed in honor of the FIFA president in 1946, who initiated the first ever competition of the World Cup in 1930. The trophy was originally called ‘Victory’, and was made of gold plated sterling silver depicting Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. It was stated that if ever a team won the World Cup three times, they would get to keep the trophy and another would be made. Read more mysteriouswritings.com/lost-treasure-the-jules-rimet-trophy/ |
