1974 FIFA WORLD CUP - Germany
The 1974 FIFA World Cup, the tenth staging of the World Cup, was held in West Germany from June 13 to July 7. West Germany had been chosen in July 1966 as hosts by FIFA. The tournament marked the first time that the current trophy, the FIFA World Cup Trophy, created by the Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga, was awarded. The previous trophy, the Jules Rimet Trophy, was won for the third time by Brazil in 1970 and awarded permanently to the Brazilians. The host nation won the title beating Netherlands in the final, 2-1. The victory was the second for West Germany, who had won in 1954.
A total of 38 matches were played in West Germany. Runners-up Holland won many fans with their brand of ‘Total Football' and their captain gave birth to the legendary Cruyff turn. Hosts West Germany won the tournament with captain Beckenbauer (GER) instrumental in their success.
