Donald Trump has the World Cup on display and it could mean big changes for football fans

 

On 20 March 1966, four months before the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England, the trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall.[10] It was found seven days later wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill, Upper Norwood, South London, by a black and white collie dog named Pickles.

 

It was put on display at the Brazilian Football Confederation headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, in a cabinet with a front of bullet-proof glass.[16]

 

On 19 December 1983, the trophy was stolen again. The wooden rear of the cabinet was forced open with a crowbar and the cup was taken.[17] Four men were tried and convicted in absentia for the crime.[18] The trophy has never been recovered, and it is widely believed to have been melted down and sold into gold bars
