Brazilian football fan and former metallurgist Jarbas Meneghini Carlini has been combining his love for the sport with his business, making replicas of the FIFA World Cup trophy in his workshop in western Rio de Janeiro.
After watching Brazil's then-captain Dunga triumphantly lift the trophy following the team's fourth World Cup win in 1994, Carlini resolved to create his own.
"They weren't for sale, so I decided to make the trophies myself. And today, I'm a trophy craftsman," he said from his workshop in Campo Grande.
