The FIFA Club World Cup has a new look, expanded to 32 teams, and is held only once every four years.
As such, a new trophy was needed to reflect the larger format and broader scope of the event.
The old Club World Cup trophy - a traditional-looking trophy that could be held in one hand and raised above a single player's head - is gone. In its place is a massive slab with intricate carvings and striking features.
The new FIFA Club World Cup Trophy explained
The new FIFA Club World Cup Trophy, made by American jewelry giant Tiffany, is a stunning multi-faceted gold plaque.
With a 24-carat gold finish, the trophy features multiple laser-etched inscriptions on its surface. "Tell the story of football" in no fewer than 13 languages, plus Braille, and even a world map.
The trophy's most beautiful feature was revealed ahead of the draw for the 2025 Club World Cup on December 5 in Miami, when FIFA President Gianni Infantino pulled out a golden key that fitted into a lock on the back, releasing the two circular layers to begin orbiting around the central plate.
"Innovative, inclusive, revolutionary and truly global, the new 32-team FIFA Club World Cup deserves a trophy that represents all of these," Infantino said in FIFA's official statement unveiling the trophy. "It is both prestigious and timeless - a golden trophy that is a symbol of the future and inspired by the past."
"The team that lifts this trophy holds the world of club football in its hands. For the players who win it, history is yours! Let's take it to the world and celebrate as we await the beginning of a new era for football when the only FIFA Club World Champion lifts the FIFA Club World Cup trophy in New York, New Jersey, on 13 July 2025.
