The FIFA World Cup trophy will arrive at Sunday’s final between Argentina and Spain inside a specially designed Louis Vuitton trunk, continuing the French luxury fashion house’s long-standing partnership with world football’s governing body ahead of the tournament’s showpiece event.
According to Reuters, the bespoke trunk, unveiled in New York on Thursday, will transport football’s most coveted prize to the New York-New Jersey Stadium, where defending champions Argentina face Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
Louis Vuitton said the handcrafted trunk features the brand’s signature monogram canvas, gold-plated brass corners and a bold gold “V” representing both “Victory” and “Vuitton.” Its interior is lined with beige leather and includes a commemorative patch celebrating the partnership between FIFA and the luxury brand.
This is the fifth consecutive men’s World Cup in which Louis Vuitton has created the official trophy trunk, having previously designed the cases used at the 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
