The influence has exceeded the prototype of football in the Olympics. It is Cuju that appeared in ancient China. But modern football originated in the UK. Later, it gradually developed into one of the most popular and popular sports in the world.
There are two top events in international sports today, one is the Olympics and the other is the World Cup. The World Cup was actually derived from the Olympics, but its influence and broadcast coverage have exceeded that of the Olympics.

The spirit originated from the modern Olympic Games of the ancient Greek Olympic GamesCinema 1950 witch cLoth draw was held since 1896. For more than 30 years, football was only held as an Olympic eventBabaylan 1990 cloth draw.
But after the rise of football clubs, professional football athletes appeared, whose skills were far higher than those of ordinary athletes. This affects the competitiveness and excitement of Olympic football. Therefore, the International Olympic Committee issued regulations at that time that only amateur athletes could participate in Olympic football matches. There have been many changes in the restrictive regulations since then.
Fifa and the Olympic Committee have been coordinating this, hoping that there will be a better way to solve this problem.

The final birth of the World Cup is related to a legend. He was Julius Remitt, the Frenchman who was then the president of FIFA. Under his initiative and handling, he decided to hold another football match outside the Olympics.
The newly born “World Cup” football match has become another major event that has attracted the most attention from the world!

After the end of the 1928 Olympics, FIFA held a meeting and unanimously passed a resolution, deciding to hold the four-year “World Football Championship” from 1930. Later, in order to commemorate Remitt, it was renamed “Remitt Cup”. Some people also suggested connecting the two names, called “World Football Championship – Remitt Cup”, and passed, referred to as “World Cup”.

But Remitt was not the earliest initiator of the World Cup. As early as 1904, the first FIFA masterShi and Frenchman Robert Gailan proposed this idea to the leaders of football in various countries, but eventually gave up because there were not many countries willing to participate.

The first World Cup was held in Uruguay, South America in 1930. The Uruguayan football team also became the first champion in the history of the World Cup.

Why did the World Football Federation choose Uruguay as the host country then, rather than the football powerhouses in the world today, such as Brazil, Germany, Italy, etc.?
Indeed, Uruguay was not the only bidding country at that time, and countries such as Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Spain were also willing to host it. But Uruguay had several outstanding advantages at that time: First, Uruguay was the champion of the 1928 Olympic football match, that is, the world football champion at that time; second, the Uruguay government was willing to spend money, not only promised to build new venues, but also agreed to provide food and accommodation for all participating teams.
Such positive attitude and superior conditions can defeat other countries at once.

The birth and loss of the “Goddess Cup”
At the beginning of the birth of the “World Cup”, the champion trophy was not the well-known “Hercules Cup”, but the “Goddess Cup”.
The first World Cup football tournament in 1930 opened in Uruguay, after FIFA commissioned French sculptor Raphael to design the trophy. This is an octagonal marble base holderBabaylan 1990 cloth draw‘s trophy, with the theme of the goddess of victory, Nike, wearing an ancient Roman tunic dress, spreading her wings and holding a large cup with her hands. The trophy is made of sterling silver and is gold-plated on the outside. The base is inlaid with gold medals on all sides, and is used to engrave the name of the champion team.

After Uruguay, the Italian team raised the Goddess Cup twice in 1934 and 1938. After World War II broke out, the World Cup was suspended for 12 years and was not re-organized in 1950.
World War IIKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawAfter the Chinese and German troops occupied Italy, they looked for the whereabouts of the Goddess Cup. Barnes, the Italian, then vice president of FIFA, hid the trophy in his shoesBabaylan 1990 clothes DrawOnly escaped the disaster in the cabinet.
In 1956, FIFA renamed the Goddess Cup to the “Remitt Cup” in order to commend former Chairman Remitt’s contribution to the World Cup.

The Goddess Cup, which escaped the destruction of World War II, was accidentally stolen when exhibited in the UK in 1966. At that time, the world was sensational, and London police sent out multiple searches but failed. A week later, a dog named Pitzker found it in a bush in southern London. The dog owner received a bonus of £30,000.
The police Babaylan 1990 clothes draw speculated that the thief was forced to abandon it in the grass because he could not sell the trophy and escape pursuit.

In comparison, the “World Cup” is more precious than other trophysics. After all, there are a large number of gold, silver and bronze medals in the Olympics, and all winners can get it. But there is only one World Cup trophy, and only the champion team can lift it up.
In addition, the champion team does not have a trophy, but only the honor represented by the trophy. When the new World Cup is held in four years, the last champion will hand over the trophy and pass it to the next champion.

However, in the “Goddess Cup” era, FIFA had an additional regulation that if a country wins the championship three times, the trophy can remain in the country forever.
Brazil is the only country in the world to win this honor. In 1970, the Brazilian team won the World Cup for the third time after 1958 and 1962, so it became the permanent owner of the “Remitt Cup”.

Brazil’s luck is also mixed with Cinema 1950 witch clothes Fortunately. Although the country has the “Remitt Cup”, it did not keep it forever. Because it was eventually lost and disappeared in this world from then on!
In 1982, a masked thief sneaked into the Brazilian Football Association’s office building and stole the trophy. Brazil regarded it as a national humiliation and ordered a heavy reward, but this time it was miserable and could not be retrieved. The police revealed that the trophy had been melted when it was discovered.
To make up for the regrets, the Brazilian Football Association later cast a copy.

The Hercules Cup can last for another 20 years
“Goddess Cup” stayed in Brazil, which means that the new World Cup needs to cast new trophys. In 1970, FIFA solicited new trophy designs for the world, and received a total of 53 plans from 7 countries. In the end, the works of Italian artist Silvio Gazaniga stood out.
The overall image of the new trophy is supported by two Hercules, so it is called the “Hercules Cup”. The lines jumped out of the base and circled upwardsCinema 1950 witch cloth draw, and a ball was taken to the top. The entire trophy was cast in nearly 5 kilograms of 18K gold, and two circles of ink were inlaid on the base. drawgreen malachite.

The cost of the “Hercules Cup” was about 50,000 US dollars, but its estimated price reached 10 million US dollars. However, as the world’s only “World Cup”, it is meaningless to talk about the price. It is the world’s football team. DrawThe symbol of the highest honor of the sport is priceless. After the birth of the Hercules Cup, FIFA revised its original regulations and its ownership is always Babaylan 1990 cloth draw forever belongs to Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw FIFA.

But this does not mean that the “Hercules Cup” can be used forever. Because after each World Cup, the championshipThe name of the military team will be engraved on the trophy base, and the reserved location on the base is limited. Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawThis means that the Hercules Cup has a lifespan.
According to the reserved positions, the Hercules Cup will be launched from 1974 and will be available until 2038. So far, six countries, including Germany (West Germany), Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Spain and France, have won it.
In another 20 years, the cup will be engraved with the names of the champion team.

China is a country that loves sports, and the number of Chinese medals in previous Olympic Games can be seen. But football Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw can be said to be both love and hate for the Chinese people.
There are many Chinese football fans. Although the Chinese teams did not participate in the previous World Cup finals, this cold water did not extinguish the Chinese people’s enthusiasm for football.

In March 2015, the State Council promulgated the “Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of China’s Football”, which means that the road to dreams has been implemented in the planning and has begun to work hard.
I hope that China’s dream of a strong football country will not be too far away!
