<P> A replacement trophy was commissioned by FIFA for the 1974 World Cup . Fifty - three submissions were received from sculptors in seven countries . Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga was awarded the commission . The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 inches) tall and is made of 5 kg (11 lb) of 18 carat (75%) gold, worth approximately US $150,000 in 2017, with a base 13 centimetres (5.1 inches) in diameter containing two layers of malachite . It has been asserted by Sir Martyn Poliakoff that the trophy is hollow; if, as is claimed, it were solid, the trophy would weigh 70--80 kg and would be too heavy to lift . Produced by Bertoni, Milano in Paderno Dugnano, it weighs 6.175 kg (13.6 lb) in total and depicts two human figures holding up the Earth . Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, "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". </P> <P> The trophy has the engraving "FIFA World Cup" on its base . After the 1994 FIFA World Cup a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy on which the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright . The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language; for example, "1974 Deutschland" or "1994 Brasil". In 2010, however, the name of the winning nation was engraved as "2010 Spain", in English, not in Spanish . As of 2014, eleven winners have been engraved on the base . The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners, with Spain on later occasions written in Spanish ("España"). FIFA's regulations now state that the trophy, unlike its predecessor, cannot be won outright: the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold - plated rather than solid gold . Germany was the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time in 2014 . </P> <P> Jules Rimet Trophy </P> <Ul> <Li> Brazil--1958, 1962, 1970 </Li> <Li> Uruguay--1930, 1950 </Li> <Li> Italy--1934, 1938 </Li> <Li> West Germany--1954 </Li> <Li> England--1966 </Li> </Ul>
