The original World Cup trophy was named the Jules Rimet Trophy. It was stolen just prior to the 1966 World Cup in England, but was found by the dog Pickles. Brazil won the tournament for the third time at the 1970 World Cup and was awarded the trophy permanently. It was stolen once more in Rio de Janeiro in 1983 and melted down by the thieves. The Brazilian Football Confederation had a replica of the trophy made. Rumours of the various disappearances of the trophy and its final resting place continue to the present day.The original World Cup trophy was named the Jules Rimet Trophy.
