The Copa Libertadores trophy, or simply Libertadores, is a trophy awarded annually by CONMEBOL to the football club that wins the Copa Libertadores. ==Trophy== (詳細はTeófilo Salinas, a boardmember of CONMEBOL, and it was his initiative that led to the creation of one of the most prized awards of the world. The original trophy was created in 1959 by Alberto de Gasperi, an Italian immigrant, who owned an artisan shop in Lima, Peru; the prestigious memento was forged in the Camusso Jewelry workshop, located on Colonial Avenue of the same forementioned city.〔("¿Sabías que el trofeo de la Copa Libertadores se hizo en el Perú?" ), ''El Comercio'', 3 May 2010〕〔("¿Dónde se forjó el trofeo de la Copa Libertadores?" ), El Enganche.es〕 Gasperi later commented: The original trophy carried room for a mere 18 badges (perhaps as a sign of the little faith its organizers had on the duration of the tournament). The top of the laurel is made of sterling silver, with the exception of the football player at the top (it is made of bronze with a silver coating). The pedestal, which contains badges from every winner of the competition, is made of hardwood plywood. The badges would be placed at the top base of the pedestal one underneath another and span six columns. At the top of the cup, there is a football player getting ready to kick a ball. The top half of the globe beneath him carries the coat of arms of every CONMEBOL nation. The middle bar has "Campeonato de Campeones de Sudamerica" inscripted on it.〔(Picture of the original trophy )〕 There are two handles on each side of the globe. The non-wooden part of the laurel is made of sterling silver, with the exception of the football player at the top (it is made of bronze with a silver coating).〔(El trofeo de la Copa Libertadores se hizo en el Perú )〕 Estudiantes won the right to win the first trophy outright after their third, consecutive win in 1970. The pedastal was placed on the new top portion of the trophy which shared similar characteristics to the first one. A third switch was implemented in 1974 after Independiente's triumph. This time, the middle bar has "Copa Libertadores" inscripted on it.〔 Eighteen editions after its inauguration, the pedestal was filled to capacity and a new pedestal that carried room for 24 badges was installed. The old badges were installed on the new pedestal and the Cup carried room for six more editions. After six years the pedestal was full and a new stand was installed. This new pedestal had room for 28 badges and it was designed to have seven columns of four. A quick solution practiced after the 28 slots were occupied was to put their badges on the bottom edge of the pedestal. The first team to do this was Atlético Nacional.〔 Although the edge of the pedestal was filled in 1994, the pedestal stayed the same size until 2004. The Copa Libertadores debuted with a new pedestal, and with space for several champions and with all its badges in place. But this was short lived due to an accident in the celebrations of the consecration of Once Caldas in July 2004, after beating defending champions Boca Juniors. This issue was highlighted when the old trophy ended shattered when Herly Alcazar, who plays for Once Caldas, let the trophy fell from his hands. Repair was entrusted to Chilean company ''Alzaimagen''. Among the differences from the current to the original is that the handles are larger, and the man kicks with his left foot and not with his right. In 2009, the trophy went through a major renovation as the badges were organized to have nine horizontal columns with vertical rows. The first team to received the current trophy was Estudiantes. The trophy is scheduled to be filled by the 2024 edition.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Copa Libertadores (trophy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
