The winner of this summer’s highly-anticipated Club World Cup will get to wear a special badge on their shirts for the next four years.
The tournament will get underway on June 14, kicking off a busy month of football for the 32 teams involved.
It will be held at various venues across the United States and involve the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG.
And the first winner of the expanded version of the competition will have a a golden badge on their shirts recognising their achievement until the next edition takes place in 2029.
The design of the crest is yet to be revealed but it will likely be similar to the one Man City have had on their kit since they won the Club World Cup two years ago.
City have been allowed to wear it for back-to-back campaigns as the tournament did not take place in 2024 with the Fifa Intercontinental Cup taking place instead.
This year’s tournament will consist of 32 teams a stark contrast compared to the old format which only included seven teams from the six FIFA confederations.
As a result of the expanded pot of teams, instead of seven games being played across 11 days, the event will see 63 fixtures crammed into 28 days.
While the competition may be viewed as an after-thought by some fans, it comes with a lucrative award – as the winners of the tournament will receive up to £97million ($125million) from FIFA.
A £774million ($1billion) will be shared between the 32 clubs – in addition to a £406million ($525million) participation fee shared based on sporting and commercial criteria, with a further £368million ($475million) shared based on sporting performance.
