Is the FIFA Football World Cup Trophy Made of Solid Gold?
As the biggest event in international football, the FIFA World Cup captivates millions of fans around the globe every four years. And at the heart of it all is one highly coveted prize: the golden trophy. It was designed by Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga and made by the Stabilimento Artistico Bertoni company. It was first presented to Germany after they won the 1974 World Cup. But have you ever wondered just how much gold is actually in that shiny trophy of the FIFA World Cup Football Tournament?
Value of FIFA World Cup Trophy
Well, it may surprise you to learn that the FIFA World Cup trophy is not solid gold and it is hollow inside. In fact, it stands at a mere 36.5 centimeters tall and is made of 18 karats (75%) gold, weighing a total of 6.175 kilograms. It has bands of malachite on its base, which is 13 centimeters in diameter.
While this may not seem like a lot, the current market value for this amount of gold is a whopping $161,000 (around 1 crore and 70 lacs taka).

History of FIFA Football World Cup Trophy
What makes this trophy even more valuable is its history and significance. First introduced in 1974, it has been awarded to World Cup winning teams for over 40 years now. Only six countries have managed to claim it multiple times: Brazil (5 times), Germany (3 times), Italy (2 times), Argentina (2 times), Uruguay (2 times) and Spain (1 time).
In the past, the winning team would keep possession of the trophy until the final draw of the next tournament. However, that is no longer the case. Now, each winner of the World Cup receives a gold plated bronze replica than solid gold. The original trophy remains in FIFA’s possession and is brought out for display at each subsequent World Cup tournament.
So, while it may not be solid gold, there's no doubt that the FIFA's Football World Cup Trophy holds immense value both monetarily and sentimentally.

Key Features of Mi Smart Projector 2
The projector can be connected to any smart TV to cast your movies, streaming, and photos with ease. We have looked at the features closely, and here is what we have found.
Design
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 is nearly identical in design and construction to the original Xiaomi Mi smart compact projector. This compact projector is easy to transport. Those who are looking for a decent portable projector can choose it. The projector measures 4.5 x 5.9 x 5.9 inches (115 × 150 × 150 mm) and weighs 2.8 lbs (1.3 kg).
Read Price Drop: Is it the right time to buy an iPhone 13?
The Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 comes packaged in only white plastic, with a front portion covered in a gray fabric. The projector comes with an average look, so it won’t overshadow the output signal it originates from, and you can match this gadget easily with your home décors and appliances.
The Mi Smart Projector 2 has the least connectivity possible with what it has to connect: HDMI 2.0, USB 2.0, and audio output for headphones. Thanks to its Android TV OS compatibility and its ability to cast to connected displays. This project works fine for basic connections.

The most exciting feature of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 is that it sports a large screen. It can display up to a 120-inch screen at a 1.2:1 throw ratio.

This projector comes with four-channel LED RGB+BP brightness improvement technology with HDR decoding, which makes the colors feel more real.
However, this projector doesn’t generally make the pictures bright enough to fight the existing ambient lights in a room. To increase the odds of obtaining a bright image from the projector, you need to place the projector in a room with a low chance of sunlight entering through the windows or use this gadget at night.

The tournament will take place in Lusail Stadium, Al Bayt Stadium, Stadium 974, Khalifa International Stadium, Education City Stadium, Al Thumama Stadium, Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, and Al Janoub Stadium.

8 Stadiums of Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022
Lusail Stadium
This is Qatar's biggest stadium of all eight stadiums having 80,000 seats. The Lusail Stadium is also where the final match for the FIFA World Cup is to occur. The construction began in the year 2017 and was done in 2021, with an estimated cost of $767 million.

The Al Bayt Stadium is important due to its historical correlation with nomadic people in Qatar. The stadium's structure having a tent-like shape was inspired due to its traditional nomadic tents. The construction of the Al Bayt Stadium began in the year 2014 and was completed by the end of 2021, with the construction cost being $847 million.
FIFA suspends India's football body over 'third party influence'
In a big blow to Indian football, international apex body FIFA on Tuesday suspended the country's soccer association "due to undue influence from third parties".
This means that India will not be able to host the big-ticket Women's Under-17's World Cup, slated to begin in the country on 11 October.
"The Bureau of the FIFA Council has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties, which constitutes a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes," the apex soccer body said in a release.
"The suspension means that the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022, scheduled to take place in India on 11-30 October 2022, cannot currently be held in India as planned," it added.
Also read: Rights group urges FIFA, Qatar to compensate WCup workers
However, on an optimistic note, FIFA said that the suspension will be revoked "once the AIFF administration regains full control of the AIFF's daily affairs".
"FIFA is in constant constructive contact with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in India and is hopeful that a positive outcome to the case may still be achieved," it added.
In May this year, India's Supreme Court disbanded the AIFF and appointed a committee of administrators to govern the popular sport in this country.

This was because of the Indian football association's failure to hold elections since December 2020 when the tenure of its last governing body ended, with the AIFF attributing the same to the pending legal cases regarding its constitution.
Rights group urges FIFA, Qatar to compensate WCup workers
With 100 days to go until the World Cup starts in Qatar, Human Rights Watch on Friday again urged FIFA and the host nation to improve compensation for migrant workers and their families.
The rights group called for a “comprehensive remedy program for workers who suffered serious harms, including deaths, injuries, and wage theft” while working on World Cup-related projects like stadiums, transport and hotels.
Qatar has spent tens of billions of dollars on infrastructure since being picked by FIFA as host in 2010, and faced intense scrutiny of its labor laws and treatment of hundreds of thousands of workers, many from south Asia, who were needed to come to the tiny emirate and build the projects.

“Qatar has compensated some migrant workers who have faced serious abuses in recent years, but for many, these programs were created too late and are still a major work in progress,” said Michael Page, HRW’s deputy director for the Middle East.
Since 2010, the agency claimed, the level of “uncompensated human rights abuses … is significant.”
In Qatar, a Workers’ Support Fund has since 2020 paid out $164 million in compensation to 36,373 workers from 17 different countries, HRW said citing data from Qatar's Ministry of Labor.
The organization did not specify a figure for how much compensation is still needed, though Amnesty International has suggested FIFA should pay $440 million in reparations to workers — matching the sum soccer’s world body will pay in prize money to the 32 national federations whose teams are playing in Qatar.
FIFA and tournament organizers have long cited the World Cup as a catalyst to modernize laws and society in Qatar.
Responding to Amnesty in May, Qatari organizers pointed to “significant improvements … across accommodation standards, health and safety regulations, grievance mechanisms, healthcare provision, and reimbursements of illegal recruitment fees to workers.”
