Our designers drew from the UAE’s rich culture and heritage to create a trophy that was modern and uniquely Emirati. In the lattice structure extending from the base of the trophy, our designers have crafted a careful allusion to the palm tree, a symbolic and important plant integral to UAE’s historical identity. Designed to replicate the extending branches on the palm tree’s leaves, the gold gilded palm lattice is a representation of the emirate’s civilization and resilience.

Moving away from the traditional design of a trophy cup, our designers engineered a modern trophy with grooves along the crown of the trophy inspired by the Al-Jahili Fort in Al Ain. A marvel of architectural prowess, the fort was constructed in 1891 around the Al-Jahili Oasis by Sheikh Zayed to protect palm farmers and residents. The fort remained a residence for the Al Nahyan family even after Sheikh Zayed the First passed away in 1909.

Key features of the Arabian Gulf Super Cup logo were also weaved into the trophy design. The diverging columns extending from the trophy base represents an athlete’s journey of perseverance, determination, hard work as he or she ascends to greatness. The top of the columns are embellished with two gold gilded stars – an embodiment of the notion of integrity, victory, and sporting excellence, a testament to the glory and honor of being an athlete.
