Russia vs Saudi Arabia opens the tournament June 14 at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The Trophy will be displayed at glass cabinets in all 11 host cities — a logistics study in protecting a 6.1kg solid-gold prize across continental distances.

FIFA ships the Trophy in a foam-cradled aluminum flight case with humidity sensors and dedicated security escort. For your own perpetual trophy that travels between venues, even a basic foam-lined hard case (~฿2,500 at order time) prevents the ~฿15,000 repair bill from a single dropped trophy. The math is obvious; the discipline is rare.
Every time the FIFA Trophy moves venue, a printed handover form records the trophy condition, current handlers, and next destination. For local perpetual trophies that move between schools or clubs, a one-page handover form (signed at pickup and drop-off) creates accountability and surfaces damage immediately rather than at the next ceremony.
