Proudly honouring the elements that bind the Arab world together, the FIFA Arab Cup Trophy's design is bold yet exquisitely crafted. Culture and traditions have always been shared characteristics across the region – expressed through music, art and storytelling.
The trophy has Arabic letters embossed from the word “My Land”. It also has the map of the Arab world. Solid gold base representing Arab unity. Smooth undulations representing the trade routes paved by Arab ancestors. Calligraphy of the tournament name in Arabic and it hold a football.
While these values are the heart of the Arab world, language is its soul. From the Gulf to the Paci¬fic the dialects are many, but the letters remain the same – a language that speaks generosity, honour and solidarity.
Perhaps the most beautiful thing passed on through the generations is a desire to share and exchange with others. This is where Arab ancestors excelled, trading by land and sea to create the region we know today.
All will be celebrated in Qatar as Arabs gather to show their passion for the beautiful game, at the ¬first ever FIFA Arab Cup.
