Which trophy original or duplicate handed over to world cup winners after final

Quick Scoop

World Cup winners lift the original FIFA World Cup Trophy on the pitch, but they do not keep it permanently. After the celebrations, FIFA gives the team a replica to take home, while the original stays under FIFA’s control for security reasons.

What happens after the final

• The trophy shown in the trophy lift is the official original.

• The winning team receives a replica afterward, not the original to keep.

• This rule exists because FIFA wants to protect the original trophy from loss or theft.

Extra context

The older Jules Rimet Trophy was different: Brazil kept the original permanently after its third title in 1970. The current FIFA World Cup Trophy, used since 1974, does not get permanently awarded to any winner.

Simple answer

So the answer is: original for the celebration, duplicate/replica for the winners to keep.

TL;DR: The champions lift the original trophy, but FIFA hands them a replica afterward.
