46 days to go: Football’s famous Trophy
The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ is getting closer – 46 days to go!
inside.fifa.comHere’s the latest available context on the Jules Rimet Trophy pin related to FIFA World Cup:
-
The Jules Rimet Trophy was the original World Cup prize used from 1930 to 1966, later replaced by the current trophy; replicas are presented to the winners while the original is kept by FIFA or at the FIFA World Football Museum in Zurich. This establishes the historical significance of any “Jules Rimet” memorabilia, including pins, as artifacts tied to the early World Cups.[9]
-
Contemporary discussions about World Cup pins and memorabilia often reference the Jules Rimet era and distinguish between the original trophy and the current perpetual trophy; collectors’ items like pins commonly celebrate or commemorate the Jules Rimet era rather than the modern trophy itself.[7][9]
-
If you’re seeking news specifically about a pin (e.g., a recently discovered or auctioned Jules Rimet pin), coverage tends to be niche and appear in collector-focused outlets or auction houses, rather than mainstream sports news, and updates can be intermittent. The most consistent sources for this niche are dedicated collectibles outlets and auction listings rather than general sports news sites.[10][7]
Illustration you might find helpful:
- A visual reference showing the evolution from Jules Rimet to the current Trophy, useful for recognizing pins and pins’ designs that mimic the earlier trophy style, often highlighting the figure of Nike-like victory figures that characterized the Rimet design.[9]
If you’d like, I can:

- Check for the latest auction listings or collector forums and summarize notable pins and their estimated values.
- Compile a short timeline of Jules Rimet memorabilia to help distinguish pins from modern trophy replicas.
