The aim was really to make it a symbol of a new era in global club football, to be daring and bold when it comes to its format and its design, whilst at the same time highlighting the prestige through timeless gold, as we kick off the most inclusive and merit-based club competition in the world. The best of the best from everywhere on the planet."

For FIFA, this is actually the biggest win of this tournament." The trophy, designed in collaboration luxury jewellery brand Tiffany & Co., consists of gold-plated moving parts in the form of concentric circles that include iconic imagery portraying the sport's rich history as well as the names of all of FIFA's 211 member associations.
