Who is Jules Rimet?

Photocall for the Pele: THE COLLECTION at JULIEN’S AUCTIONS on June 2, 2016 in London, Englan.

Between 1930 and 1970, the winners of the World Cup were awarded what became known as the Jules Rimet Trophy.

The World Cup statue was simply known as Victory in the beginning but was renamed in honour of Jules Rimet in the 1940s. The trophy was permanently awarded to Brazil in 1970 because they won the World Cup for the third time.
