FIFA has officially unveiled the glittering new trophy for the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup™, offering the four qualified clubs a first look at the silverware they will compete for when the competition reaches its climax in London on Sunday, 1 February.

 

The historic unveiling took place in England, the host nation of the tournament’s final phase, and was shared with a special audience of pupils from a school near Brentford Stadium, venue for the semi-finals scheduled for Wednesday, 28 January. The event was led by former England international and Arsenal legend Alex Scott MBE, alongside FIFA Chief Football Officer and two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup™️-winning coach, Jill Ellis.

 

Speaking at the event, Ellis highlighted the importance of inspiring young people through the sport.

“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’ time,” she said.

“As a former coach, I firmly believe we must seize every opportunity to engage with the younger generation and share the values and magic of our sport. This incredible new tournament will help inspire a new generation of passionate women’s football supporters.”

 

Scott, who serves as an ambassador for the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup 2026™️, described the occasion as a landmark moment for the women’s game.

“It’s incredible to see the first-ever FIFA Women’s Champions Cup come to life here in London, bringing together champions from every continent to compete on a truly global stage,” she said. “This is a defining moment for women’s club football and I’m proud that London is at the heart of it.”

 

During the unveiling, pupils received official tournament merchandise, took part in a question-and-answer session with Ellis and Scott, and interacted with the trophy. The children will also attend one of the semi-final matches at Brentford Stadium next week.

 

The semi-final line-up promises top-class action, with Concacaf champions Gotham FC of the United States set to face Brazil’s SC Corinthians, winners of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina, at 12:30 GMT. Later in the day, UEFA Women’s Champions League holders Arsenal Women FC will take on CAF Women’s Champions League winners ASFAR of Morocco at 18:00 GMT.

 

The tournament will conclude on Sunday, 1 February, at Arsenal Stadium, where the third-place play-off will kick off at 14:45 GMT, followed by the final at 18:00 GMT, when the first-ever women’s intercontinental club champions will be crowned.
