FIFA World Cup trophy: History, design and more
The FIFA World Cup trophy is presented to the world champions of football. The Jules Rimet Trophy (1930-70) was the old iteration of the same trophy. Know more.
olympics.comDirect answer: There isn’t a single “latest news” story about a Jules Rimet Cup pin that is widely reported; most recent coverage centers on the Jules Rimet Trophy’s history, its thefts, and its display or replicas, rather than a specific pin.
What this typically entails:
- The Jules Rimet Trophy (1930–70) is the original World Cup trophy, renamed in honor of Jules Rimet. News about it tends to focus on historical events (the 1930 Uruguay kickoff, 1966 theft, and 1983 Brazil theft) and its current status in museums or replicas, rather than contemporary merchandise like pins.[3][5][7]
- If you’re looking for a pin or badge, you’re likely encountering memorabilia produced by fans or collectors, and such items don’t usually feature in major FIFA news cycles. Notable recent coverage in mainstream outlets typically discusses the trophy’s legacy and notable incidents rather than individual pins.[7][3]
How you can find the latest:
- Check FIFA’s official museum or shop announcements for any Jules Rimet-related memorabilia releases, including pins or replicas.
- Search football-history outlets or coin/medal collectors’ sites for recent pin releases tied to the Jules Rimet era.
- Look for museum press releases (e.g., FIFA World Football Museum) that might highlight new displays or anniversary items.
Illustrative context:
- The original trophy is housed at the FIFA World Football Museum in Zurich, with replicas presented to winners since 1970; modern pins would be separate merchandise rather than the trophy itself.[5][7]
