Quick Summary

The FIFA World Cup Trophy is awarded to the winner of the FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial international soccer competition established in 1930 by FIFA. The first trophy, the Jules Rimet Trophy, was awarded from 1930 to 1970. Brazil permanently received this trophy after winning it for the third time in 1970. A new trophy, the FIFA World Cup, was then introduced for competition. The World Cup is distinct from Olympic football as it includes players of all ages and statuses, making it a contest of the world's best players. Other awards at the tournament include the Golden Boot for top scorers and the Golden Glove for the best goalkeeper.12
