Although the FIFA Club World Cup is waved off by many in the UK the reality is that being crowned world champions is something that is monetized when it comes to the likes of merchandise sales and contracts and sponsorship. 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 where the names of winning countries are engraved, names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright. The original trophy is now permanently kept at the FIFA World Football Museum in Zurich, Switzerland. It only leaves there when it goes on its FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour. It is present at the Final draw for the next World Cup, and on the pitch at the World Cup opening game and Final.

The old trophy’s exciting journey didn’t end there as it ended up being stolen on a couple of occasions. The first incident took place in England ahead of the 1966 World Cup. The Jules Rimet Trophy was put on a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall on 20 March 1966, when the theft took place. Among the new trophy winners, only England and Uruguay have failed to win the current trophy. Germany and Argentina are the most successful nations, having lifted the FIFA World Cup Trophy on three separate occasions. Two triumphs, 1974 and 1990, were credited to West Germany. West Germany was also the first country to lift the trophy in 1974.
