From 1930 to 1970, the ''[[Jules Rimet Trophy]]'' was awarded to the World Cup winning team. It was originally simply known as the ''World Cup'' or ''Coupe du Monde'', but in 1946 it was renamed after the FIFA president [[Jules Rimet]] who set up the first tournament. In [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]], [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]'s third victory in the tournament entitled them to keep the trophy permanently. However, the trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered, apparently melted down by the thieves.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/fifa-world-cup/jules-rimet-cup.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130329051215/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/fifa-world-cup/jules-rimet-cup.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 March 2013 |title=Jules Rimet Cup |work=FIFA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |access-date=12 July 2014}}</ref>

After 1970, a new trophy, known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy, was designed. The experts of FIFA, coming from seven countries, evaluated the 53 presented models, finally opting for the work of the Italian designer [[Silvio Gazzaniga]]. The new trophy is {{convert|36|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} high, made of solid 18 [[carat (purity)|carat]] (75%) gold and weighs {{Convert|6.175|kg|1|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Trophy">{{cite news |title=FIFA World Cup Trophy |url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/marketing/brand/trophy.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150601013627/http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/marketing/brand/trophy.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 June 2015 |agency=FIFA.com |date=24 June 2018}}</ref>

The base contains two layers of semi-precious [[malachite]] while the bottom side of the trophy bears the engraved year and name of each FIFA World Cup winner since [[1974 FIFA World Cup|1974]].<ref name="Trophy" /> The description of the trophy by Gazzaniga was: "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."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/fifa-world-cup/trophy.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130329051244/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/history/fifa-world-cup/trophy.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 March 2013 |title=FIFA World Cup Trophy |work=FIFA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |access-date=12 July 2014}}</ref>

This new trophy is not awarded to the winning nation permanently. World Cup winners retain the trophy only until the post-match celebration is finished. They are awarded a gold-plated replica rather than the solid gold original immediately afterwards.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/marketingtv/marketing/fifaassets/trophy.html |title=FIFA Assets – Trophy |work=FIFA.com |publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association |access-date=19 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071104165903/http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/marketingtv/marketing/fifaassets/trophy.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date=4 November 2007}}</ref>

All members (players, coaches, and managers) of the top three teams receive medals with an insignia of the World Cup Trophy; winners' (gold), runners-up' (silver), and third-place (bronze). In the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 edition]], fourth-place medals were awarded to hosts [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]]. Before the 1978 tournament, medals were only awarded to the eleven players on the pitch at the end of the final and the third-place match. In November 2007, FIFA announced that all members of World Cup-winning squads between 1930 and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners' medals.<ref name="espnheroes">{{cite news |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=484715&cc=4716 |title=122 forgotten heroes get World Cup medals |work=ESPNSoccernet.com |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=25 November 2007 |access-date=10 December 2009 |archive-date=20 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020074058/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=484715&cc=4716 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8093891.stm |title=World Cup 1966 winners honoured |work=BBC Sport |date=10 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090612032102/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8093891.stm |archive-date=12 June 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/06/11/greavsie-gets-66-medal-115875-21431367/ |title=Jimmy Greaves finally gets his 1966 World Cup medal |work=Mirror.co.uk |publisher=MGN |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090614074134/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/06/11/greavsie-gets-66-medal-115875-21431367/ |archive-date=14 June 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Since 2006, winners of the competition are also awarded the right to wear the [[FIFA Champions Badge]], up until the time at which the winner of the next competition is decided.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/news/first-fifa-world-champions-badge-presented-italy-868119|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191222150939/https://www.fifa.com/news/first-fifa-world-champions-badge-presented-italy-868119|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 December 2019 |title=First 'FIFA World Champions Badge' presented to Italy |website=[[FIFA]] |date=2 September 2008|access-date=22 December 2019}}</ref>
