The International Football Federation unveiled the trophy for the new Club World Cup on Thursday.
It is a series of disks that can transform from a shield into a “multi-shaped, orbital structure”. It features engravings in 13 languages and Braille and rests on a black base bearing the FIFA emblem in gold lettering.
”The FIFA Club World Cup trophy had to be innovative, inclusive, revolutionary and, of course, truly global, as this competition is. You may have noticed that this is a trophy different from all our other events. The aim was really to make it the symbol of a new era in club football on a global scale, to be bold and reckless in terms of its format and design, while emphasizing prestige through timeless gold, as we kick off the most inclusive and merit-based club competition in the world. The crème de la crème of the planet. ”, said Gianni Infantino, FIFA President.
It is therefore this 24-carat gold-plated trophy that the winners of the tournament which will take place from June 15 to July 31, 2025 will lift. This version will bring together 32 clubs against a backdrop of strong reactions from players’ unions and leagues which denounce its expanded nature.
