For the next month, teams from around the world will fight it out on the field. And thanks to one Chinese company, fans can get a piece of the action. CGTN's Frances Kuo explains.

It's the biggest prize in football.

WANG BOQIAN FOOTBALL FAN "I think it is the most beautiful trophy in the world!"

And only a select few can get their hands on the coveted world cup trophy. But die-hard fans need not despair. They can get their own version thanks to this factory in southeast China. Wagon international group is busy churning out tens of thousands of replica world cup trophies and other souvenirs. This is no black-market company. Wagon was given certification from FIFA -- the football international governing body -- to sell its world cup merchandise to most markets around the world. As part of its certification, wagon has to follow strict rules on the makeup of the trophy replicas.

PERRY CHOU VICE PRESIDENT, WAGON INTERNATIONAL CO. "All Replica World Cups must be limited to 15cm in height. In other words, all cup replicas higher than 15cm in markets are definitely fake products that haven't been certified by FIFA. Secondly, they must be a certain weight. Thirdly, gold must be involved in the electroplating. So within these rules, we are very careful to meet FIFA's demands on the Cup design each time we send our designs to FIFA for review."

Factory workers in the southern city of Dongguan take at least three days of filing, polishing, heating and decorating to finish the pieces. Some can cost up to nearly 900 dollars.

The company predicts sales will jump by 10 percent from the last world cup four years ago about a quarter coming from the china region. FRANCES KUO, CGTN.
