Building up anticipation for the revamped 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the game’s governing body has officially taken the wraps off the innovative trophy for the winners.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Trophy Is a Work of Art

The circular 2025 FIFA Club World Cup trophy flaunts a 24-carat gold-plated finish and laser-engraved inscriptions of the names of all 211 FIFA member associations and an immaculately detailed world map. In addition to the inscriptions, the central disc features images of stadiums and depictions of the game’s time-tested traditions.

Inclusivity is also a key element of the design, with 13 different languages and Braille engraved on the accolade. The trophy works both as a shield and a spherical structure, which adds to its uniqueness.

The trophy is here!

Crafted in collaboration with @TiffanyAndCo, this trophy will be awarded for the first time to the winners of the inaugural #FIFACWC taking place next year.

FIFA has taken inspiration from the Voyager Golden Records that accompanied NASA’s Voyager in its deep-space missions in the 1970s. The periodic table and astronomy have also contributed to the trophy’s essence. The glittering trophy showcases positions of the planets at the time FIFA was founded in 1904 as well as the cosmic map of the 2025 Club World Cup opener in Miami.

To top it off, the trophy also has a special message for the lucky ones who will get to lift it.

It reads (via GOAL):

“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.”
