For the first 40 years, winners of the World Cup received the Jules Rimet Trophy, named for FIFA's first president, Jules Rimet. When Brazil won its third tournament in 1970, it was entitled to keep the cup. A new one was designed and it was decided that the trophy would be passed to the winning country each year, regardless of the number of times a country won; the trophy will be retired when the plaque is filled with names, in 2038.
