“This unique trophy speaks to the special nature of this tournament,” said FIFA’s Marketing Director, Jean-François Pathy. “All FIFA trophies are exceptional and embody the values of the event they represent – and the FIFA Arab Cup trophy in particular has a deep connection to the event and the region where it will be awarded. It is a stunning piece that will further inspire and excite the Qatari public in the run-up to kick-off.”

Fatma Al Nuaimi, Communications Executive Director at the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, said: “Excitement is building across Qatar and the region for the FIFA Arab Cup. We are delighted the trophy has arrived and look forward to showcasing this special prize at schools and tourist attractions across the country. It is a stunning piece of art that captures the culture and traditions of our region and we are sure schoolchildren and members of the public will be excited to interact with it.”
