President Uhuru Kenyatta holds the Fifa World Cup TrophyBut there’s a question everyone has been asking: What is in the base of World Cup Trophy that leaders keep reading every time they hold the trophy? The base plate contains a list of world Cup winners that are not visible when the trophy is standing upright.
