History of FIFA World Cup Trophy
The trophy is referred to as the Fifa World Cup Trophy. The contemporary FIFA World Cup trophy turned into first utilized in Germany in 1974.
Before Fifa provided groups with an extraordinary trophy referred to as the Jules Rimet trophy. It turned into named after the FIFA President who based the event again in 1929. However, in 1974, a brand new gold trophy was made and turned into first lifted with the aid of using Germany as World Cup winners in opposition to The Netherlands.
How and where is the FIFA World Cup Trophy made?
The 18-carat gold leaf gilding prize is remade in Paderno Dugnano, a small metropolis close to Milan, at trophy and medal producers GDE Bertoni.
Gazzaniga beat off 53 submissions from other sculptors determined to win the commission.
Every 4 years, employees in the manufacturing facility are tasked with growing a brass replica of the trophy that`s given to the soccer federation of the prevailing team.
when players get their hands on it, all sorts of damage can be done when the trophy is passed around during celebrations. So that's why Bertoni has to preserve it.
After the trophy presentation, it's handed back to GDE Bertoni who has to restore it before returning it to FIFA, where it sits in their official museum.
First, the brass body is formed in the foundry. The metal is poured into a special container (which is the shape and design of the real World Cup) to produce a plaster cast.
Once that's done, it has to be chiseled by die grinders, which remove any excess metal.
Keen attention is given to detail to refine and complete the necessary details on the trophy - specifically on the two human figures holding up the world.
Then the trophy then reaches the galvanic treatment.
The next process uses ultrasound and an appropriate solvent to ensure the trophy is cleaned properly and it also enhances the effect of the metal.
Then trophy is dipped into a gilding bath - gilding being a decorative technique for applying fine gold leaf or powder to solid surfaces.
Malachite green marble is applied to the base and the trophy is sprayed with a Zapon varnish, which ensures its preservation.
The trophy is dried, cleaned once again, and inspected one final time before it's ready to be displayed come World Cup final day. GDE Bertoni is also responsible for crafting the gold medals for the winners.
Finally, the World Cup trophy is ready for the final.
The original trophy is believed to be made of 75% gold and has been estimated to be worth around £10m. That is the reason FIFA keep it under lock and key in their World Football Museum in Zurich.
