In the 2018 edition, the most desired trophy in the world of football was in Tucumán, province and city of Buenos Aires and Rosario.
It should be remembered that this solid gold cup weighing just over six kilos can only be touched by world champions or heads of state.
The last trophy won by France at Russia 2018 was temporarily held by the federation and was later returned to FIFA.
The World champion then permanently receives another Cup which is gold plated (rather than solid gold) with the year, organizing country and the name of the National Team engraved on it.
