Did you know this about the World Cup Trophy?








The base of the current FIFA World Cup™ Trophy is made of 18-carat gold, stands 36.8cm high and weighs 6.175kg. The original Trophy, though, remains in the permanent possession of FIFA, with every winning team awarded a replica.

The champions are then able to retain their version of the Trophy, while a fresh copy is made for each new edition.




Every Team in the World Cup!

What does it take to be a Fan? #FanPride







Being a Fan of a team can be the most memorable experience of all of them or it can also be the saddest moments of defeat by another team. It can create a lot of emotions when you find out that your country can unite through a sport without thinking on the looks, on their race, on the war or even right at home. Futbol can make you believe in miracles and it teaches you that you don't need a lot to scream at the top of your lounge for a Goal! It may have been the only one your team made or many of the ones they keep on scoring. At the end EVERYONE unites with a TV and a sport that gives you a reason to have a smile on your face on the rainiest days with a win of a match that was believed to be a miracle to accomplish.
