The FIFA Club World Cup Trophy Tour has officially kicked off, bringing the iconic silverware to football fans around the globe. With Africa hosting key stops in Cairo, Tunis, Casablanca, and Pretoria, the continent’s growing influence in world football is once again in the spotlight.

This tour offers a unique opportunity for fans to get up close with the prestigious trophy ahead of the much-anticipated 2025 tournament in the United States. Set to feature 32 elite clubs, the expanded competition will begin in Miami on June 14, 2025, and span 63 matches across 12 venues. The grand finale will take place at the legendary MetLife Stadium in New York on July 13, where the ultimate club champions will be crowned.

Africa will proudly be represented by four football powerhouses: Egypt’s Al Ahly, Tunisia’s Espérance Sportive de Tunis, South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns, and Morocco’s Wydad AC.

Each stop on the trophy tour celebrates the deep footballing heritage of the host cities. In Cairo, home to African giants Al Ahly, fans will revel in their club’s legacy. Tunis and Pretoria will highlight the passion of their rich football traditions, while Casablanca shines as a growing football hub, solidified by Morocco’s recent successes in hosting major tournaments like the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and their pivotal role in the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
