The new trophy, which is 42.88cm in height and weighs nine kilograms, has set itself apart from other awards in international sporting competitions.

The trophy was constructed using 12 individual pieces, representing each member of a volleyball team.

The pieces are brought together in a seamless cylindrical design, symbolising the coming together of the 12 players using the rotation system on the court. The overall shape reflects the speed and elegance of volleyball as well as the volleyball values of purity, performance, power, precision and team work.

The base of the trophy is coated in nickel a simple and common elements representing the resilience of the team in the staring phase of the Championship. The trophy’s gradual move from nickel to gold from its base to its crown, exemplifies the winning team growing in confidence as they work through the stages of the Championship. The trophy’s gold plated crown represents the final achievement of a World Championship title.
