FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s name has been engraved on the new Club World Cup trophy.

The revamped Club World Cup, a 32-team tournament, is taking place in the United States next summer. A gold-plated trophy, which was designed by FIFA and crafted by Tiffany & Co, was unveiled on Thursday, and the 54-year-old’s name appears twice.

One of the inscriptions reads “founding president, Gianni Infantino”, followed by his signature.

Another passage that mentions Infantino reads: “We are witness to a new age. The golden era of club football: the era of the FIFA Club World Cup. The pinnacle of all club competitions. Inspired by the FIFA president Gianni Infantino.”

Although Infantino did not design the trophy, he would have had to approve it.

“The trophy had to be innovative, inclusive, ground-breaking and truly global, as this competition is,” the FIFA president said in a statement when the gold-plated trophy was unveiled.

 

[SuperiorXI]

A fitting name for such an accolade

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Quite unbelieveably yes

 

[arthurka]

Stabbed his friend in the back to take over from him, what could've gone wrong.

 

[Plant0x84]

Probably, yes. At least Sepp Blatter was useful if you needed something from a high shelf or the loft.

 

[P-Ro]

After watching that pile of shite video I still have no idea what the trophy looks like.

Ian Holloway put it best

This wouldn't have happened under Sepp Blatter

Probably, yes. At least Sepp Blatter was useful if you needed something from a high shelf or the loft.

I think this is a decent image of it

This video was so bad that whilst watching it I involuntarily took a step back from my former reality and now everything I see looks like tacky garbage

Just came to post the same thing. Looks like some kind of gyroscope thing.

If you tried to hold it up, having won it, surely you'd trap your fingers in-between the concentric rings.

 

[B20]

It's quite a feat, but yes I think he's worse.

Michel Zen-Ruffinen really should run.

 

[Skills]

Much, much worse.

 

[NotChatGPT]

He is miles, miles, miles worse

 

[The Firestarter]

Today he feels like a dipshit.

 

[90 + 5min]

The more of this nonsens the faster football destroy itself. I miss old real football.

 

[Plant0x84]

Today he feels like a dipshit.

Everyday he feels like a dipshit.

 

[Crostien]

Infantino knows we'll all watch the wc.

So did Blatter.

The club tournament might fail, but even if it does, it won't significantly hurt fifa.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

After watching that pile of shite video I still have no idea what the trophy looks like.

 

[Abizzz]

That is not even a fecking cup ffs.

 

[Ish]

Crooks.

 

[Snow]

Infantino joined a corrupt system, embraced it and elevated the corruption. He's worse.

 

[Oranges038]

Yeah, he's a 50 year old man who wears white trainers with a suit. At least Blatter had the decency to wear shoes.

 

[BaguetteBoy]

Why is he still in charge. Does the fifa presidency last a life time?

Yet another reason to boycot that shitty tournament

 

[Samid]

Blatter walked so Infantino could run.

 

[Raven]

Why is he mentioned multiple times on the trophy itself? Is that the same on the normal world cup?

FIFA club world hubcap doesn’t have the same ring to it though.

FIFA dictatorship

 

[Sassy Colin]

Blatter walked so Infantino could run.

That's why he wears trainers, presumably.

 

[Solius]

He ran on anti corruption which is incredible to believe now. He barely kept that lie up for any amount of time.
