Jules Rimet Cup

-

The Jules Rimet Cup was awarded to the team that won the World Cup tournament. The trophy — named for Jules Rimet, founder of the World Cup tournament — was sculpted by Abel Lafleur and has "a depiction of the goddess of victory holding an octagonal vessel above her head, produced in gold with a base of semi-precious stones," FIFA says on their website.
According to FIFA rules, the first team to win the Jules Rimet Cup three times would gain permanent possession of it. This happened in 1970, when Brazil won the cup for the third time. The cup was sent to Brazil and a new World Cup trophy was created.
In 1983, the cup was stolen when it was in Rio de Janeiro and hasn't been seen since. The thieves may have melted down the cup. In 2015, the Associated Press reported that the original stone base of the Jules Rimet Cup was found in a basement at FIFA headquarters in Switzerland, according to a report by the Associated Press. The stone base was in use until 1954, when a new base was created for the Jules Rimet Cup.
