When will the World Cup be held?

On June 11th, 21, the World Cup was born.

As a single sports event, the World Cup is the largest sports event in the world. The origin of the World Cup began at the Olympic Games in the early 2th century, especially at the Olympic Games held in Antwerp in 192. At that Olympic Games, 14 countries from South America, Asia and Africa took part in the football events of the Olympic Games. In 1928, 17 countries took part in the Amsterdam Olympic Games, but until then, the World Cup was not yet formed.

Until May 26th, 192, FIFA decided to hold a football match by itself, and the World Cup was born. At the FIFA General Assembly in 1926, President Rimet passed the proposal of "holding the first FIFA World Cup in which all national teams of FIFA member football associations can participate".

They chose to compete in the middle year of the Olympic Games, and decided to hold the World Cup every four years. After the third competition in France (in 1938), the World Cup competition was interrupted for 12 years due to the outbreak of World War II. As soon as the war ended, Brazil hosted the fourth World Cup in 195.

the origin of FIFA world cup trophy

during the history of FIFA world cup, there were two world cup trophies, and the first one experienced many twists and turns.

When FIFA decided to host the first World Cup in 193, French sculptor Rafael made a pure gold trophy to be awarded to the winning team. The trophy is a sculpture of the goddess of victory holding an octagonal cup with her arms outstretched on a pillar inlaid with precious stones. In memory of President Rimet, the founder of the World Cup, the trophy was named "World Cup", but it was only called the World Cup in the third competition (193, 1934 and 1938) before the outbreak of World War II. By 197, Brazil, the only country with three consecutive championships at that time, had the trophy forever.

During World War II, the World Cup trophy was hidden under the bed of a house in Italy in order not to be persecuted by the invaders. Before the World Cup was held in Britain in 1966, it was stolen when it was exhibited to civilians. The British police searched for this trophy many times, but it ended in failure. Finally, the trophy was found in a garbage can in the suburbs by a dog called "Pickets". The World Cup was recovered.

in 1983, the trophy was stolen again in Brazil, and it has not been found yet. It is estimated that it may have been melted by thieves, so it became the trophy of Hercules and bid farewell to the world. So the Brazilian Football Association made a replica instead of keeping it.

The second World Cup trophy was selected from 53 technical designs and was presented at the World Cup held in 1974. The trophy was made of 18K pure gold by Italian sculptor Garania. According to his explanation, the image of the trophy contains "the spiral line rising from the ground is supporting the earth, which strongly shows the passion at the moment of winning".

This trophy is 36 cm (14 inches) high and weighs 4,97 grams (11 pounds). It belongs to FIFA. The team that wins the World Cup can get a gold-plated replica.

World Cup,FIFA World Cup, World Football). Held every four years, any FIFA member country (region) can send a team to sign up for the World Cup, and the World Cup is mainly divided into two stages: the qualifying stage and the final stage.

There was a "football" competition in China in the Tang Dynasty, which was called "Cuju" at that time. Modern football originated in England, and then became popular all over the world. Due to the rapid development of football, international competitions have also appeared. When the Athens Olympic Games was held in 1896, football was listed as an official event. Denmark beat Greece 9- and became the first football champion in the Olympic Games. Because professional athletes were not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, by the 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games, the football match could not be sustained. After the 1928 Olympic Games, FIFA held a representative meeting and unanimously passed a resolution to hold the world football championship every four years. This has played a positive role in promoting the further development and improvement of world football. At first, this new football competition was called "World Football Championship". In 1956, FIFA decided to change its name to "Rimet Cup" at its meeting in Luxemburg. This is in recognition of the achievements made by former FIFA President Rimet, a Frenchman, for football. Rimet was the president of FIFA for 33 years (1921-1954) and was the initiator and organizer of the World Football Championship. Later, it was suggested that the two names be linked and called "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup". Therefore, it was decided at the Helsinki meeting to change its name to "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup" or "World Cup" for short.
