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 ancient Chinese Cuju activity was the sport of football.>Original Data Picture
The spirit originated from the ancient Greek Olympic Games. The modern Olympic Games started in 1986. For more than 30 years, football was only held as an Olympic event. But after the rise of football clubs, professional football sports players appeared, with their skills far higher than 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 (FIFA) and the Olympic Committee have been coordinating in hopes of a better solution to 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!

After the 1928 Olympic Games, 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, it was renamed “Remitt Cup”. Some people also suggested connecting the two names, called “World Football Championship – Remitt Cup”, and passed, referred to as “World Cup”.

However, Remitt was not the earliest initiator of the World Cup. As early as 1904, the first president of FIFA, Frenchman Robert Gailan, proposed this idea to the leaders of football in various countries, but finally gave up because there were few 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 the history of the World Cup.

Why did the World Football Federation choose Uruguay as the host country, rather than the football powerhouses in the world today, such as Brazil, Germany, Italy, etc.?
Indeed, Uruguay did not go back then. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan is not the only bidding country, and Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries are also willing to host it. But at that time Uruguay had several outstanding advantages: 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 food and accommodation for all participating teams.
Such a positive attitude and superior conditions, the other countries were defeated 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”.
The first World Cup Football Championship in 1930 opened in Uruguay, after FIFA commissioned French sculptor Raphael to design the trophy. This is a trophy supported with an octagonal marble base, with the theme of the goddess of victory Nike. She wore an ancient Roman tunic dress, spread her wings, and held up a large cup with both hands. The trophy was Komiks sterling silver, with gold plated on the outside. The base is inlaid with gold medals on each side, and the name of the champion team is used to engrave 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 href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema, 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. The Italian, then vice president of FIFA, was hirked by Barnes, who 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 world caused a sensation, and the London police sent all their lives to search but failed. A week later, a dog named Pitzker found it in the bushes in southern London. The owner of the dog was for this. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan received a £30,000 bonus.
Police speculated that the thief was forced to abandon it in the grass because he was unable to sell the trophy and escaped pursuit.

In comparison, the “World Cup” is more precious than other trophies. After all, there are 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 win it.It lifts up.
And, the champion team does not have a trophy, but only has the honor represented by the trophy. When the new World Cup is held in four years, 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 provision that 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 Komiks 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 stayed in Brazil, which means that the new World Cup needs to cast new trophys. In 1970, FIFA solicited new champion trophy design plans from the world, and received a total of 53 plans from 7 countries. Finally, the works of Italian artist Silvio Gazaniga stood out.
The overall image of the new trophy holds the earth for two Hercules, so it is called the Hercules Cup. The lines jump out from the base, circling up, and taking over a ball to the top. The entire prizeKomiks cup is cast in nearly 5 kg of 18K gold, with two circles of dark green malachite embedded on the base.

The Hercules Cup cost about US$50,000, but its estimated price reached US$10 million. However, as the only “World Cup” in the world, it is meaningless to talk about prices. It is a symbol of the highest honor of world football and a priceless treasure.
After the birth of the Hercules Cup, FIFA revised its original regulations, and all its Babaylan rights 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’s Cinema League. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaThe winners can get a copy of the Hercules Cup as a commemoration.

But this does not mean that the Hercules Cup can be used forever. Because after each World Cup match, 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.
> According to the reserved positions, the Hercules Cup will be launched from 1974 and will be available until 2038. So far, six countries, including Germany (West Germany), Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Spain and France, have won it.
In another 20 years, the cup will be engraved with the names of the champion team.

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 teams failed to participate in the World Cup finals, 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’ enthusiasm for football is still not low. 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 the World Cup matchesCinema, and China will one day strive for the world championship!
In March 2015, the State Council promulgated 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!
