About Fifpro World 11 Punong Buluhaton: Football Trophy
Teksto sa Libro: Ang Fifpro World 11 trophy gibase sa Abrazo de Gol, usa ka Argentine nga pulong para sa paggakos sa goal. Onse ka mga bahin ang gitipon ngadto sa usa ka kopa, nga nagpadayag sa usa ka tim nga nahiusa sa usa ka lihok ug gibahin nga paningkamot. Gibotohan sa kapin sa 28,000 ka propesyonal nga mga football player, ang disenyo molihok sa duha ka kahimtang, ang gitipon nga kopa ug usa ka piraso nga gunitan sa kamot alang sa matag piniling football player. Usa ka tinukma nga morpolohiya sa kurba ug kontra-kurba ang naghatag og biswal nga paglihok sa trophy sa duha ka kahimtang. Hinimo gikan sa solidong aluminum nga adunay manual nga paghuman; satin nga sulod, pinasinaw nga gawas, ug laser engraving sa ngalan ug tuig.

- Production Technology
- Made from solid aluminum, the trophy combines high precision technology with an artisanal finish. Each statuette is machined on a 5 axis Cnc to achieve its three dimensional form, then undergoes multiple polishing stages to create a satin finish on the interior and a mirror polish on the exterior. Each piece is laser engraved with the player s name and the year it was awarded.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was to turn a concept as profound as Abrazo de Gol into a three dimensional trophy. Its symbolic meaning had to be translated through morphology and usability: an object that is understood and felt in the hand, while also functioning as a collective system. Externally, the complex geometry had to be manufacturable and consistent: 5 axis Cnc machining plus hand finishing to meet Fifpro s global quality standards.
- Research
- This design research aimed to make the Fifpro World 11 a collective trophy. The method followed three axes analysis, concept and development comparing trophies and award rituals, then exploring embrace forms via references from art, sculpture and jewelry, using Cad 3D, prototypes and grip fit tests. xCruza and Fifpro participated. The result is an 11 piece modular cup. Impact, scalable system received by world stars, reinforcing inclusion and strengthening the award experience and identity.
- Inspiration
- In Argentina, football is felt deeply, and a goal embrace is more than a hug, it is celebration, recognition, and passion. This popular expression inspired us to design an award in which more than 28,000 professional footballers select the world’s best eleven.
By the players, for the players is the motto of Fifpro World 11, a collective award that promotes inclusion and camaraderie. In this way, the new design breaks with the single trophy logic and is experienced as a collective celebration. - Project Duration
- Project started in October 2024 and was formally unveiled on 9 December 2024. In 2024 and 2025, the trophy was delivered worldwide to World 11 players across top clubs such as Real Madrid, Fc Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, among them Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Aitana Bonmatí and Lucy Bronze.
- Operation Flow
- It is a system designed for two states, as a whole, the eleven statuettes assemble to form the cup and individually, each piece is presented to the player and can be held with one hand from the center of the object or with two hands from the base. Its irregular geometry invites the recipient to explore its curves and reveals, with surprise, that each award is part of a larger whole.
