The influence has exceeded the prototype of football in the Olympics. It is Cuju that appeared in ancient China. But modern football originated in the UK. Later, it gradually developed into one of the most popular and popular sports in the world.
There are two top events in international sports today, one is the Olympics and the other is the World Cup. The World Cup was actually derived from the Olympics, but its influence and broadcast coverage have exceeded that of the Olympics.

The spirit originated from the ancient Greek Olympic Games. The modern Olympic Games started in 1896.It was held in the first 30 years, soccer was only held as an Olympic event.
But after the rise of football clubs, professional football athletes appeared, whose skills were far higher than those of ordinary athletes. This affects the competitiveness and excitement of Olympic football. Therefore, the International Olympic Committee issued regulations at that time that only amateur athletes could participate in Olympic football matches. There have been many changes in the restrictive regulations since then.
Fifa and the Olympic Committee have been coordinating this, hoping that there will be a better way to solve this problem.

The final birth of the World Cup is related to a legend. He was Julius Remitt, the Frenchman who was then the president of FIFA. Under his initiative and handling, he decided to hold another football match outside the Olympics.
The newly born “World Cup” football match has become another major event that has attracted the most attention from the world!

1BabaylanAfter the end of the 928 Olympics, FIFA held a meeting and unanimously passed a resolution, deciding to hold the four-year “World Football Championship” from 1930. Later, in order to commemorate Remitt, Cinema changed its name to “Remitt Cup”. Some people also suggested connecting the two names, called “World Football Championship – Remitt Cup”, and passed, referred to as “World Cup”.

But Remitt was not the earliest initiator of the World Cup. As early as 1904, the first president of FIFA and Frenchman Robert Galan,The leaders of the national football world put forward such an idea, but eventually gave up because there were not many countries willing to participate.
The first World Cup was held in Uruguay, South America in 1930. The Uruguayan football team also became the first champion in World Cup history.

Why did the World Football Federation choose Uruguay as the host country that year, rather than the football powerhouses in the world today, such as Brazil, Germany, Italy, etc.?
Indeed, Uruguay was not the only bidding country at that time, and countries such as Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Spain were also willing to host it. But Uruguay had several outstanding advantages at that time: First, Uruguay was the champion of the 1928 Olympic football match, that is, the world football champion at that time; second, the Uruguayan government was willing to spend money, not only promised to build new venues, but also agreed to provide Babaylan food and accommodation for all participating teams.
Such positive attitude and superior conditions can defeat other countries at once.

The birth and loss of the “Goddess Cup”
At the beginning of the birth of the “World Cup”, the champion trophy was not the well-known “Hercules Cup”, but the “Goddess Cup”. Cinema
The first World Cup in 1930 opened in Uruguay, after FIFA commissioned French sculptor Raphael to design the trophy. This is a trophy supported by an octagonal marble base, with the theme of the goddess of victory Nike Cinema, wearing an ancient Roman tunic dress, spreading her wings and holding up a large cup with both hands. The trophy is made of sterling silver and is gilded on the outside. The base is inlaid with gold medals on all sides, and is used to carve the name of the champion team.

After Uruguay, the Italian team raised the Goddess Cup twice in 1934 and 1938. After World War II broke out, the World Cup was suspended for 12 years and was re-organized in 1950.
After the German army occupied Italy during World War II, it was searching for the whereabouts of the Goddess Cup. Barnes, the Italian, then vice president of FIFA, hid the trophy in the shoe cabinet and escaped.
In 1956, FIFA renamed the Goddess Cup to the “Remitt Cup” in order to commend former Chairman Remitt’s contribution to the World Cup.

The Goddess Cup, which escaped the destruction of World War II, was accidentally stolen when it was exhibited in the UK in 1966. At that time, the whole world was sensational, and the London police sent all their lives to search but failed. A week later, a dog named “Pitzker” was in the bushes in southern Quinn. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan discovered it. The dog owner received a £30,000 bonus for this.
Police speculated that the thief was unable to sell the trophy and escape Cinema to avoid hunting, and was forced to abandon it in the grass.

In comparison, the “World Cup” is more precious than other trophys. After all, Babaylan has a large number of gold, silver and bronze medals in the Olympics, and all winners can get it. But there is only one World Cup trophy, and only the champion team can lift it.
In addition, the champion team does not have a trophy, but only the honor represented by the trophy. A new World Championship will be held in four years. A new World Championship will be held in the next four years.During the Cinema Cup, the last champion will hand over the trophy and pass it to the next champion.

However, in the “Goddess Cup” era, FIFA has an additional regulation Komiks. If a country wins the championship three times, the trophy can remain in the country forever.
Brazil is the only country in the world to receive this honor. In 1970, the Brazilian team won the World Cup for the third time after 1958 and 1962, and thus became the permanent owner of the “Remitt Cup”.

Brazil’s luck is also mixed with misfortune. Although the country has the “Remit Cup”, it has not kept it forever. Because it was finally lost and disappeared in this world from now on!
In 1982, a masked thief sneaked into the Brazilian Football Association office building and stole the trophy. Brazil regarded it as a national humiliation and ordered a heavy reward, but this time it was very miserable and was ultimately unable to be retrieved. Police revealed that the trophy had been melted when it was discovered.
To make up for the regrets slightly, the Brazilian Football Association later cast a copy.

The “Hercules Cup” can be used for another 20 years
The “Goddess Cup” stays in Brazil, which means that the new World Cup needs to cast new trophys. In 1970, FIFA solicited new championship trophy design plans from the world, and received a total of 53 plans from 7 countries. In the end, the works of Italian artist Silvio Gazaniga stood out.
The overall image of the new trophy is for two strong men to support the earth, soIt is called the “Hercules Cup”. The lines leaped out of the base, circled upwards, and took over a ball at the top. The entire trophy is cast in nearly 5 kg of 18K gold, and the base is inlaid with two circles of dark green malachite.

The cost of the “Hercules Cup” was about 50,000 US dollars, but its estimated price reached 10 million US dollars. However, as the only “World Cup” in the world, it is meaningless to talk about price. It is a symbol of the highest honor of world football and a priceless treasure.
After the birth of the Hercules Cup, FIFA revised the original regulations of Babaylan. Its ownership will always belong to FIFA. All the champion teams have is honor, and the trophy will be circulated downward every four years. However, each champion winner can receive a replica of the Big BabaylanLegendary Cup as a commemoration. Komiks

But this does not mean that the Hercules Cup can be used forever. Because after each Cinema World Cup, the name of the champion team will be engraved on the base of the trophy, and the reserved position on the base is limited. This means that the Hercules Cup has a lifespan.
Based on the reserved positions, the Hercules Cup will be available from 1974Komiks and will be available through 2038. So far, six countries, including Germany (West Germany), Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Spain and France, have won it.
In another 20 years, the cup holder will be the generalThe name of the champion team is engraved.

China is a country that loves sports, and the number of Chinese medals in previous Olympic Games can be seen. But for the Chinese people, football can be said to be both love and hate.
There are many Chinese football fans. Although the Chinese team failed to participate in the finals of the World Cup in previous World Cups, this cold water did not extinguish the Chinese people’s enthusiasm for football. Data shows that among the 2018 Russian World Cup spectators, Chinese fans ranked ninth in the number of votes purchased!
You can imagine how excited the Chinese people would be if the Chinese team reached the finals!
Although the Chinese team has not qualified, Chinese fans are still very enthusiastic about football. Picture/Visual China
This may not be a fantasy. Because the football dream is the inherent meaning of the “Chinese Dream”. Chinese leaders once looked forward to the future: Chinese football teams will enter the World Cup, China will hold World Cup competitions, and China will one day strive for the world championship!
In March 2015, the State Council issued the “Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of China’s Football”, which means that the road to dreams has been implemented in the planning and has begun to work hard.
I hope that China’s dream of a strong football country will not be too far away!
