Ням гарагт Нью-Жерси хотын МетЛайф цэнгэлдэх хүрээлэнд болох шигшээ тоглолтын дараа Лионель Месси эсвэл Родри нарын аль нэг нь дэлхийн аварга цомыг өргөх болно.
Дэлхийн аваргын цом өдгөө хоёр дахь хувилбар дээрээ ирээд байна. Анхны цом болох “Жюль Риме”-гийн нэрэмжит шагналыг Дэлхийн хоёрдугаар дайны үед Италийн хөлбөмбөгийн холбооны тэргүүн Отторино Барасси гутлын хайрцагт нуун авч үлдэж байсан түүхтэй. Харин 1966 онд хулгайлагдсан уг цомыг “Пиклс” хэмээх нохой олж байсан бол 1983 онд Бразилд хулгайлагдаж, улмаар хайлуулагдсан гэж үздэг.
Одоогийн FIFA-гийн дэлхийн аваргын цомыг Италийн уран барималч Сильвио Гаццанига урласан бөгөөд 1974 оноос хойш ашиглаж байна. 18 каратын цул алтаар хийсэн, 36 см өндөр, 6.142 кг жинтэй энэхүү цомыг ялагч орон мөнхөд эзэмшдэггүй. 2006 оноос хойш түрүүлсэн багуудад зөвхөн алтаар бүрсэн хуулбарыг гардуулдаг бол жинхэнэ цомыг Цюрих дэх FIFA-гийн төв байранд хадгалдаг болжээ.
Энэ жилийн шигшээ тоглолтын дараа АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп ялагч багийн ахлагчид цомыг гардуулан өгөхөөр төлөвлөж байна. 1994 онд АНУ-д болсон тэмцээний үеэр тухайн үеийн дэд ерөнхийлөгч Ал Гор Бразилийн ахлагч Дунгад цом гардуулж байсан удаатай.

On Sunday, either Argentina captain Lionel Messi or Spain’s Rodri will be presented withthe World Cup trophy at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
But the impressive 18-carat gold design has quite the story, as does the original World Cup trophy. Yes, there have been two.
From the original escaping the Nazis during the Second World War, being stolen in the 1980s and never found since, to the current version being the work of a man who won a FIFA competition, here’s everything you need to know about the two World Cup trophies.
Why have there been two trophies?
Designed by French sculptor Abel Lafleur, the Jules Rimet Trophy, which was the original prize for winning the World Cup, was around 30cm high. The design was loosely based on the ancient Greek sculpture the ‘Winged Victory of Samothrace’, with Nike, the goddess of victory, holding an octagonal cup with her wings.
The Jules Rimet Trophy — named after the former FIFA president following his death in 1956 — had an astonishing history.
The Nazis tried to take it from Rome during the Second World War, but failed after the head of the Italian Football Federation, Ottorino Barassi, hid it in a shoebox underneath his bed.
Most famously, in 1966 the trophy was found underneath a hedge by a dog called Pickles a week after thieves had taken it from Westminster Central Hall, London, following England’s victory.
In 1970, Brazil were allowed to keep it after they won the World Cup for the third time, as per Rimet’s wishes when the tournament was first held in 1930. Thirteen years later, the gold-plated sterling silver trophy was stolen from a display box at the Brazilian FA’s offices in Rio de Janeiro in 1983. Although several arrests were made, no one was charged and it was never recovered. Brazilian police claimed it had been smelted.

A year after Brazil became the first country to win the tournament three times, FIFA ran a competition giving people an opportunity to create a new trophy. Over 50 submissions were sent from seven different countries and the winner was Italian Silvio Gazzaniga, who’d had decades of experience in trophy-making at a company called GDE Bertoni, including helping make the Olympic medals for the 1960 Games in Rome.
“The Jules Rimet Trophy was an expression of art nouveau,” Silvio’s son, Giorgio, told The Athleticin 2022. “He wanted to give a new version of the spirit of art in the 20th century.”
Silvio explained in 2013: “As this is the World Cup, it’s only logical that the world should form part of the trophy. Of course the world is spherical and, as such, very similar to a ball. The human figures that emerge from the base material extend upwards and support the world, which I also imagined as a ball.”
Silvio later designed trophies for the Europa League, the European Super Cup, the baseball World Cup and more.

How big is the World Cup trophy?
The current trophy, officially named the FIFA World Cup Trophy, has been used since 1974, when West Germany were the first recipients. It cost about £7,690 ($9,390) to make, or £90,000 ($110,000) in today’s money, and is made from 18-carat solid gold.
With malachite bands at its base, it’s 36cm tall and weighs 6.142kg — similar to a large bowling ball or a heavy domestic cat.
Who is presenting the trophy at the final and who gets to lift it?
Usually, the World Cup trophy is presented by the FIFA President alongside the host country’s head of state. This year, U.S. President Donald Trump will award the trophy to the winning team’s captain.

In 1994, the last time the World Cup was on U.S. soil, then Vice President Al Gore presented the trophy to Brazil’s captain, Dunga. President Bill Clinton did not attend the final but did speak at the opening ceremony.
It is usually the jubilant players and the winning team’s coaching staff who celebrate with the trophy after the final, but in 2022 celebrity chef Salt Bae managed to get his hands on it after accessing the pitch following Argentina’s victory.
Do the winners get to keep it?
Unlike the Jules Rimet Trophy, winning this one three times does not mean holding onto it forever. If those were the rules, it would be somewhere in Germany after they lifted it in 1974, 1990 and 2014 (the first two as West Germany).
Actually, winners don’t keep the trophy at all anymore. Since 2006, they have been given a gold-plated replica to display, while the actual trophy sits in FIFA HQ in Zurich, Switzerland, where only a select few are allowed to touch it, such as former winners and heads of state.
