An icon for the future, inspired by the past

The FIFA Club World Cup™ Trophy features 24-karat gold plating and laser-etched designs on both sides, with inscriptions and images that perfectly capture the history of the beautiful game. Designs include a world map and the names of the 211 FIFA member associations, as well as the six continental associations, symbolizing the geographical and cultural diversity of football.

The central disc of the trophy is a collection of symbols closely associated with football, its rituals and traditions, including innovative stadium shapes, equipment and a world map. The icon features inscriptions in no less than 13 languages, including Braille, reflecting the spirit of the global game and values ​​of inclusion, and ensuring that the legacy of the tournament reaches the widest possible audience around the world . There is enough space to laser engrave the winning clubs’ insignia onto the surface of the trophy for 24 editions, and the gleaming gold masterpiece can be transformed from a shield into a multi-faceted orbital structure . This iconic trophy is inspired by the famous Voyager gold plaque, sent into space in the 1970s as part of a mission by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Its design is inspired by astronomy, elements of the periodic table and maps of the first expeditions. To celebrate the past and future of the beautiful game, the trophy is also adorned with cosmic symbols, representing the approximate positions of the planets during the founding of FIFA on Saturday, May 21, 1904 in Paris, France, and during the match opening of the tournament which will take place on June 15, 2025 in Miami, United States.

The trophy is inscribed with a message of inspiration for champions, which reads: “Those who lift this trophy are doing it: “Those who lift this trophy write the chapters of the history of the soccer ! You are witnesses to a historic moment which represents the pinnacle of club football. A moment accessible to a few, but celebrated by many.” These words reflect the value of the Champions Trophy as a symbol of greatness, both honoring legends of the past and inspiring clubs around the world. Every champion gets a piece of the action
