The launch of the new trophy coincides with the launch of “Saudi Architecture” by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. The trophy features 19 architectural styles inspired by the Kingdom’s geographical and cultural characteristics.

The new Cup stands 45 cm tall and has a base width of 14 cm. It is decorated with Salmani engravings that reflect the Kingdom’s heritage. A pure gold-plated football sits atop the Cup in the center of a base adorned with the Salmani engraving.
