A gold tone replica of the Jules Rimet trophy standing on a base that is signed by Pelé in silver marker. The trophy consists of an octagonal cup supported by a winged figure representing Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory. It comes in a wood and acrylic display case. The Jules Rimet trophy was awarded to the winning team of the FIFA World Cup in a given year. Rimet instituted a rule that if any country won the World Cup three times, that country could keep the trophy permanently. Pelé's Brazil team did just that in 1970, winning its third World Cup title after victories in 1958 and 1962. The Jules Rimet trophy was then awarded to Brazil permanently, making way for the current World Cup trophy. Trophy height, 10 3/4 inches; Case, 12 by 6 3/4 by 6 3/4 inches Categories: PELÉ
