Prior to the start of football play on November 20th, the World Cup trophy has finally arrived in Qatar!<\/p>\n
The trophy was unveiled following a 51-leg world tour that included stops in each of the 32 countries that have qualified for this year’s competition.<\/p>\n
The award is made of 18-carat gold, with a height of just under 37 cm (14 inches), and weighs just over 6 kg (13 kilos).<\/p>\n
Although it cost around $50,000 when it was first made in 1971, its estimated current value is at $20 million.<\/p>\n
It was made by Italy’s Milan-based artist Silvio Gazzaniga after Brazil was granted permission to keep the previous trophy after winning the competition three times.<\/p>\n
And even though Italy’s soccer team won’t be at the event, the artist’s Italian family will be there as they have attended the event for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n
The rights to making the enduring trophy are still owned by the artisanal Gazzaniga family business.<\/p>\n
In honour of FIFA’s third president, Jules Rimet, who initiated the first World Cup, the trophy has been given the name ‘Jules Rimet Trophy’.<\/p>\n
