FIFA has revealed the trophy for its inaugural Women’s Champions Cup, a new global club competition set to crown its first champion next month.
The trophy was unveiled in London on Monday by FIFA Chief Football Officer and two-time World Cup-winning coach Jill Ellis, alongside former England international and tournament ambassador Alex Scott.
The event included school pupils from near Brentford Stadium, the venue for the semi-finals on January 28. Ellis stated, “It was a pleasure to spend time with the children and witness their excitement as they saw the trophy up close. I can’t wait to see them in the stadium in just a few days.”
She highlighted the importance of inspiring young people through football, calling the moment a reminder of the sport’s power to motivate future generations.
Alex Scott hailed the tournament as a landmark for women’s club football, noting it brings together continental champions from around the world. “The quality on display is expected to inspire young players and fans alike,” she said.
The children received tournament merchandise, took part in a Q&A with Ellis and Scott, interacted with the trophy, and will attend a semi-final this week.
The competition kicks off with two semi-finals at Brentford Stadium on Wednesday. CONCACAF champions Gotham FC (USA) will face CONMEBOL winners SC Corinthians (Brazil), followed by UEFA champions Arsenal Women against CAF champions ASFAR of Morocco.
The tournament concludes on Sunday, February 1, at Arsenal Stadium, where the third-place play-off and final will be held.
FIFA said the Women’s Champions Cup aims to boost the global profile of women’s football, increase visibility for elite players, and drive the continued growth of the women’s game worldwide.
