In honour of former Fifa president Jules Rimet, the original World Cup trophy was known as the Jules Rimet Trophy. The World Cup was one of the first international football competitions that Rimet helped to conceptualise.

As per IE, the cup, which was manufactured of sterling silver and was gold-plated from the 1930 first World Cup until 1970, weighed 3.8 kg and was awarded to the winners.

Fifa had a regulation in force at the time that let nations that won the World Cup three times keep the original trophy. Brazil won their third title in 1970, and they thus received the Jules Rimet Trophy.

But then how come teams get a replica now?
