FIFA opened the Club World Cup trophy tour at Naver 1784, in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on the 6th. The trophy made its first appearance at the 'Team Naver Vision Stage' equipped with high-resolution LEDs and virtual production technology. At the stage incorporating high-tech technology, the virtual place was realistically implemented, drawing attention.
As it is the Club World Cup, which marks its first tournament since the reorganization, many peculiarities can be found in the trophy that symbolizes the tournament. The biggest peculiarity is that it is a trophy with an orbital shape and has an appearance surrounded by three rings around the center plate. It usually stays flat, but when the trophy is opened with a key, the three-ring orbit mysteriously wraps around the center plate.
The central edition and orbit contain the past and future of football, and the names of football associations and continental federations of 211 member countries that have joined the world map and FIFA to symbolize diversity. The description and meaning of the trophy will be revealed to the public through a trophy tour that will take place over two days.
FIFA is conducting a trophy tour to promote the Club World Cup to soccer fans around the world. Starting from New York, the host country, in January, he will visit 20 countries and 29 cities for 140 days.

The prize money will follow only when it follows. I will try to get a lot of players."
