We are inspired by Jules Rimet, who will be always remembered as the man who created the World Cup. His creation has touched more people, in more countries, more everlastingly than any other.
Jules Rimet was a “humanist and idealist, who believed that sport could unite the world.” It was these ideals that would shape Rimet’s first moves into the world of football. All nations united in sport.
He always maintained that football should be inclusive and multinational. He believed that through international sport, and football in particular, he could establish and reinforce the fundamentals he held so dear: hard work, fair play, cooperation and respect.
He may have never kicked a ball, but his impact on the world’s game is still felt today at both a local and global level. That is the legacy of Jules Rimet, a true pioneer.
