The FIFA World Cup Trophy is made of solid gold and malachite. It is made by the Italian sculptor Silvio
Gazzaniga. He described his creation in these words: "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory". The trophy is 36 cm high, made of solid 18-carat gold and weighs 4,970 grams. The base contains two layers of semi-precious malachite and has room for 17 small plaques bearing the name of the winners - space enough for the World Champions up to the year 2038. The current FIFA World Cup Trophy cannot be won outright, as the regulations state that it shall remain FIFA's own possession. The World Cup winners retain it until the next tournament and are awarded a gold-plated replica.

The FIFA World Cup weights 5 kg and is made of 18 carat solid gold. The 3 times winner will not get to keep the trophy. Each winner gets to loan the trophy for 4 years and a replica trophy will be given for their keeping.

The previous World Cup trophy or Jules Rimet trophy was handed to Brazil after their win in Mexico in 1970. The previous input gives all the correct answers. So I won't try and gain a fake 2 points by copying the answer.

No many teams have won the World Cup mopre than once and no one keeps it. The team that wins gets to hold on to it until the next World Cup
