The FIFA World Cup Replica Trophy is a 36.8 cm tall, 6.175 kg statue not made of 18-karat solid gold (made of plastic), featuring two stylized human figures holding up the Earth on a malachite base. Designed by Silvio Gazzaniga, the trophy represents the joy of victory and the spirit of global unity. While winners receive the trophy for a short period, the original remains with FIFA, who provides them with a gold-plated replica.
