When did the China men's soccer team win the World Cup?

The Hercules Cup, which is 36 cm high and weighs 4.97 kg, is made of 18K pure gold. The base is made of two layers of malachite, which can hold 17 small nameplates engraved with the names of champions-enough for the 238 World Cup. FIFA also stipulates that the new champion's gold cup can no longer be owned permanently, but belongs to FIFA, and each country that wins the World Cup can only own it until the next World Cup. As compensation, the country will get a gold-plated replica of the "Hercules Gold Cup".

The World Cup is the trophy of today's football World Cup and the symbol of the highest honor in football. In the 197 World Cup in Mexico City, after Brazil, which won three World Cups, permanently owned the "Rimet Gold Cup", FIFA solicited a new World Cup champion gold cup scheme, and received 53 schemes from seven countries. Finally, the works of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga were selected. Silvio Gazzaniga himself described his creativity: the lines jumped out from the base, spiraled up, and received an earth at the top. On this dynamic and compact cup, the images of two athletes who were excited after winning were carved. The whole trophy looks like two Hercules holding up the earth, so it is also called "Hercules Golden Cup".

The predecessor of the World Cup-Rimet Cup

[ Edit this paragraph ]

The predecessor of the World Cup was the Rimet Cup. After FIFA decided to hold the first FIFA World Cup in 193, the French sculptor Abel LaFleur made a pure gold trophy for the winning team. The trophy is a sculpture of an octagonal trophy with the goddess of victory stretching her arms on a pedestal inlaid with precious stones, weighing 3? 8 kg, 35 cm high. In memory of President Rimet, the founder of FIFA World Cup, the trophy was named "Rimet Cup". But in the three World Cups (193, 1934 and 1938) before the outbreak of World War II, it was only called the World Cup. At that time, the International Football Federation stipulated that if a national team won the World Cup three times, it would have the Rimet Cup forever. After Brazil won the championship for the third time in Mexico City in 197, the Brazilian Football Association permanently collected the then champion trophy "Rimet Cup". During World War II, the trophy was hidden under the bed of a house in Italy to avoid the invading army. In 1966, before the World Cup was held in Britain, it was stolen in the process of opening an exhibition to the public. Although it was searched by the British police in many ways, it all ended in failure. In the end, the trophy was found in the garbage bin in the suburbs by a mongrel dog called "Pickets". In 1983, the trophy was stolen again in Brazil, and it is estimated that the trophy was melted by thieves at that time. The Brazilian Football Association made a replica and preserved it to this day.

The history of the World Cup

[ Edit this paragraph ]

Modern football originated in England, although it became popular all over the world. Due to the development of football games, international competitions have also appeared. In 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games was held in Greece, 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 1928 (the ninth Olympic Games), the football match could not be sustained.

After the Olympic Games in p>1928, 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 Conference to change its name to "World Football Championship-Rimet Cup" or "World Cup" for short.

In 1928, the World Cup trophy was specially made by FIFA for the winner, which was cast by Friel, a famous Parisian jewelry technician. Its model is Nikai, the legendary Greek goddess of victory. She is dressed in an ancient Roman tunic, with her arms straight and a big cup in her hand. The statue is made of pure gold, weighs 18 grams and is 3 centimeters high, and stands on a marble base. This cup is a mobile prize. Whoever wins the championship can keep the gold cup for 4 years and return it to FIFA before the next world cup, so as to issue it to a new world champion. In addition, there is an additional stipulation: whoever wins the world championship three times in a row will always win the second cup.

In p>197, during the 9th World Cup, Uruguay, Italy and Brazil all won the championship twice. Therefore, everyone has the opportunity to occupy the second cup forever. As a result, the Brazilian team got the first place and occupied the second cup.

To this end, FIFA has to prepare a new trophy to give to the champions in the lower world. In May, 1971, FIFA held a new cup review meeting. After reviewing 53 schemes, it was decided to adopt the design scheme of Italian Gazania-the design scheme of two lux holding the earth high with their hands. This figure symbolizes the power and scale of sports. The new cup is named "FIFA World Cup". The cup was 36 centimeters high and weighed 5 kilograms, which was worth 2 thousand dollars at that time. In the 1th World Cup in 1974, West Germany won the new cup for the first time as the champion. This time, FIFA stipulates that the new cup is a mobile prize, and no matter which team wins many championships, it can't occupy this cup.

The birth of the World Cup

[ Edit this paragraph ]

Because of the bumpy fate of the Rimet Cup, FIFA decided to make a new championship trophy for the 1974 World Cup. At that time, many designers from seven countries submitted 53 different design schemes to FIFA, and finally FIFA chose Italian * * * and Chinese artist Silvio? Ghassani Jia's works. Ghassani Jia, the designer of the "World Cup", described his works as follows: "Several curves extending from the base spiral upward and connect to the earth shape at the top. The shape design of the two athletes as the main body of the statue fully shows the exciting moment of victory. "

The name of the countries that won the 17th World Cup from 1974 to 238 can be engraved on the base of the World Cup. In other words, after the World Cup in 238, the World Cup will be retired and replaced by a new generation of trophies.

The International Football Federation stipulates that the new cup is a mobile prize. No matter who wins the championship many times, the original will not be permanently owned by any national team. The national team that won three championships after 1974 can get a replica of the World Cup, and the original belongs to FIFA.

so far, five countries, namely Germany, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, France and the United States, have won it. In 1974, beckenbauer, the captain of the West German team, became the first person to lift the World Cup. In the summer of 26, Cannavaro, the captain of the Italian national team, won the World Cup at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany.

The origin of the World Cup

[ Edit this paragraph ]

In the history of FIFA World Cup, there have been two FIFA World Cup trophies, and the first one has suffered a lot.

after FIFA decided to hold the first FIFA World Cup in 193, the French sculptor Abel LaFleur made a pure gold trophy for the winning team. The trophy is a sculpture of the octagonal trophy held by the goddess of victory with her arms outstretched on a pedestal inlaid with precious stones.

In memory of President Rimet, the founder of FIFA World Cup, the trophy was named "World Cup". But in the three World Cups (193, 1934 and 1938) before the outbreak of World War II, it was only called the World Cup. After winning the championship in 197, Brazil, as the only country that won the triple crown, always held the trophy.

During World War II, in order to avoid the invading army, the trophy was hidden under the bed of a house in Italy. In 1966, before the World Cup was held in Britain, it was stolen in the process of opening an exhibition to the public. Although it was searched by the British police in many ways, it all ended in failure. In the end, the trophy was found in the garbage bin in the suburbs by a mongrel dog called "Pickets".

In p>1983, the trophy was stolen again in Brazil. It is estimated that the trophy was melted by thieves at that time. The Brazilian Football Association made a replica and preserved it to this day.

The second FIFA World Cup trophy was presented at the FIFA World Cup in 1974, which was selected from 53 designs by FIFA. The trophy was made by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazazniga in 18K gold. According to his introduction, 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 victory".

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

Legends of the Rimet Cup and the Hercules Cup

[ Edit this paragraph ]

The World Cup trophy, which represents the highest honor of world football, has as rich a history as this famous event. Since 1928, there have been three trophies, and behind them are a series of interesting stories.

In p>1928, FIFA decided to set up a football match in which both amateur and professional players could participate. The name was "World Football Championship". The sponsor of the match was Julies, the then FIFA president. Rimet. The competition was scheduled to be held in 193, so Rimet entrusted the famous French sculptor Rafael to make a trophy for the future champion.

Raphael chose the goddess of victory in Greek mythology as the prototype and carefully made a pure gold trophy, so this trophy is called "Goddess Cup". This trophy weighs 3? 8 kg, 35 cm high, shaped like the goddess of victory standing on a blue lapis lazuli base with open arms, holding up an octagonal gold cup with both hands. This World Cup is a mobile cup, and the winner can keep the cup for four years and hand it over to FIFA before the next World Cup, so as to distribute it to the new world champions. At that time, there was a rule that the first team that won the championship three times could have the gold cup forever.

In p>193, Uruguay won the Goddess Cup in the first World Cup, and then Italy lifted the trophy twice in 1934 and 1938. After the World Cup was held for three times, World War II broke out and the competition was suspended for 12 years. Towards the end of the war, Nazi Germany occupied Italy. At that time, the Italian FIFA Vice President Barnes hid the trophy in the shoe cabinet under his bed and escaped the looting of the Germans.

after the end of the world war in p>1946, FIFA renamed the "Goddess Cup" as "Rimet Cup" in recognition of former president Rimet, who initiated and organized the World Cup during his 33 years as FIFA president. The World Cup resumed in 195, and the trophy was kept by the champion countries in turn for 16 years until the World Cup in England in 1966. A few months before the competition was held, the "Rimet Cup" was stolen when it was on display in Britain, which caused a great shock throughout Britain. The British police are out in full swing, searching for the whereabouts of trophies all over the country. A week after the trophy disappeared, Gao Bai, a Thames barge crew member, and his dog Pickles found an old newspaper bag under the fence near their house. When they opened it, the Rimet Cup was lying in it.

Gao Bai sent the trophy to the police station, and besides getting a prize of 3, pounds, he and his dog became national heroes. In an interview in 199, Gao Bai recalled this incident and said, "Pickles's action caught my attention. The trophy is tightly wrapped in the newspaper, and it can be seen from the outside that it is probably a sculpture, and the base is still exposed outside the newspaper. When I tore the newspaper apart, I saw the names of Germany, Uruguay and Brazil engraved on it. Because I am a fan, I didn't know about the theft of the trophy, so I jumped in the car and drove to the police station. " According to the British police, the thieves were forced to abandon the trophy because they could not sell it and escape the pursuit.

In p>197, Brazil won the World Cup for the third time after 1958 and 1962, and became the permanent owner of the Rimet Cup. FIFA decided to make a new trophy to replace it. In May 1971, FIFA selected Italian sculptor Silvio? Gazzani's design scheme. Gazzani's trophy got rid of the old-fashioned design routine. The design shows two Hercules holding their arms back to back, holding an earth on their backs, and it looks like a football from the outline of the ball. There are two circles of emerald malachite on the top of the cup. This cup is made of 5 kilograms of 18K gold and is 36 centimeters high. The position of the name of the 17th World Cup champion is reserved on the cup body, so it can be used until 238. The cup was named "FIFA World Cup", also known as "World Cup". Although this cup is also a mobile cup, it is no longer permanently occupied by a country that has won the championship many times.

The fate of the World Cup trophy that stayed in Brazil was very "tragic". In December 1982, a masked thief broke into the office building of the Brazilian Football Association and stole the trophy. Brazil regarded it as a national humiliation and offered a heavy reward. Unfortunately, the police soon found that the Rimet Cup had been melted in a slum in the northern suburb of Rio de Janeiro.

This is the origin of the World Cup and the symbol of the highest honor in the football world, and it is only possible for China men's soccer team to find their blood and goals in their hearts.
