Inside the World Cup trophy factory | AFP

A peek inside a factory in a town on the outskirts of Milan, which manufactures the football World Cup trophy. The trophy is made by GDE Bertoni in the Italian town of Paderno Dugnano. Italy, however, will miss out on the 2022 World Cup after it failed to qualify for the tournament. Seeing 'our' cup lifted, in quotes, is always a great emotion," says GDE Bertoni production manager. "To think that Italy will not participate in a World Cup for the second time hurts us, but we know that Italy can participate in other competitions. We are waiting for our moment."

Na minha opinião não existe um troféu mais bonito e mais importante do que esse da Copa do mundo.

TV said it is 18c Gold, so it must be Gold Plated over the brass ... Is it hollow? What is the green base material. More info and a proper close up of it would be useful.

It's really a shame that a world cup winner get a world cup trophy made out of bronze instead of Gold. yea it's replica but it should be made with original GOLD not Gold colored. Does 5kg Gold cost too much compared to FIFA winners pride, hard work and the values of this Great show? I think that is disrespectful to the winners.

So why can't the team keep the replica then for life as it's a replica and have to return every 4 years. Just make a new replica every tournament

[vasildjunov]

[gragon]

It crazy how fifa doesn’t even give you the real thing, I mean they are hella rich they can definitely afford pure gold ones.

[DorDor]

Why the trophy canot be kept? Whats the point of returned it to the new winner? FIFA can create a new ones its only plated replica
