<P> The trophy has the engraving `` FIFA World Cup '' on its base . After the 1994 FIFA World Cup a plate was added to the bottom side of the trophy on which the names of winning countries are engraved , names therefore not visible when the trophy is standing upright . The inscriptions state the year in figures and the name of the winning nation in its national language ; for example , `` 1974 Deutschland '' or `` 1994 Brasil '' . In 2010 , however , the name of the winning nation was engraved as `` 2010 Spain '' , in English , not in Spanish . As of 2018 , twelve winners have been engraved on the base . The plate is replaced each World Cup cycle and the names of the trophy winners are rearranged into a spiral to accommodate future winners , with Spain on later occasions written in Spanish ( `` España '' ) . FIFA 's regulations now state that the trophy , unlike its predecessor , can not be won outright : the winners of the tournament receive a bronze replica which is gold - plated rather than solid gold . Germany became the first nation to win the new trophy for the third time when they won the 2014 FIFA World Cup . </P>
