FIFA has unveiled the official FIFA Club World Cup Trophy that will be raised to the sky at next year's tournament, which will be staged at twelve stadiums across eleven host cities in the United States from 15 June 2025 to 13 July 2025 (the day of the final).
Inter are one of the two Italian teams that will participate in the competition. The Nerazzurri will discover their opponents at 19:00 CET on Thursday 5 December, the day of the draw in Miami. The tournament will see the participation of 32 teams, divided in eight groups of four teams each, and follow the classic structure of the World Cup at international level.
The new trophy, designed by FIFA and crafted in collaboration with global luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co., will be presented to the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup winners, who will be crowned after the final at the MetLife Stadium in New York New Jersey.
Boasting a 24-carat gold-plated finish, the FIFA Club World Cup Trophy features intricate laser-engraved inscriptions on both sides, showcasing text and imagery that portray football’s rich history. The inscriptions include a world map and the names of all 211 FIFA Member Associations and the six confederations, representing the geographical and cultural diversity of the beautiful game.
The trophy’s central disc displays an array of icons that capture football’s traditions, including symbols of stadiums and equipment and a world map. The trophy also features engravings in 13 languages and Braille. Space is available to laser-engrave the emblems of the winning clubs for 24 editions of the tournament. Furthermore, the trophy can transform from a shield into a multifaceted and orbital structure – an adaptable design that establishes a powerful visual structure. Celebrating both the past and the future of the sport, the trophy features celestial symbols representing the approximate positions of planets at the time of FIFA’s foundation on Saturday 21 May 1904 in Paris, France, and of the tournament’s opening match on 15 June 2025 in Miami, USA.
An inspiring message to the champions is engraved on the trophy, including the following: “To those who hold this trophy, history belongs to you! You are witness to a moment in time that represents the pinnacle of club football, bestowed upon few but celebrated by many.”
The champions at each edition will receive a replica of the FIFA Club World Cup Trophy featuring engravings that mark their triumph after the final. This official FIFA Club World Cup Winner’s Trophy mirrors the perpetual trophy in its craft, construction and scale – complete with official nameplates emblazoned with club emblems, along with dates relating to their victory.
The FIFA Club World Cup Trophy will be presented to the world in its physical form on Thursday 5 December 2024, when FIFA hosts the tournament’s draw in Miami, USA.
