What Chelsea now exclusively get to do after 3-0 win over PSG in Club World Cup final, never happened before
Chelsea cemented themselves as champions of the world with a 3-0 win over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
A brilliant brace by Cole Palmer within just 30 minutes stunned the French giants, before the England international then assisted Joao Pedro for a third – delighting Enzo Maresca, who has banked Chelsea an estimated £100m by navigating the Blues all the way in the United States this summer.
Along with a newly designed FIFA Club World Cup trophy – which can strangely be unlocked with a key – Chelsea have secured themselves another unprecedented badge of honour after defeating PSG in New Jersey.
Chelsea secure right to wear gold FIFA Club World Cup patch for next four years
Typically, whoever wins the FIFA Club World Cup only gets the honour of wearing the gold patch upon their chest for 12 months, as the competition was a yearly event.
Now, however, since Gianni Infantino rebranded the tournament, the FIFA Club World Cup will take place every four years, just like the FIFA World Cup.
It means Chelsea – who PSG No.9 Goncalo Ramos praised – will be able to boast their status as world champions in front of their Premier League rivals on a weekly basis in four consecutive seasons, a fact which is sure to delight the Stamford Bridge faithful – along with the hefty amount of prize money awarded as well.
As well as a newly designed trophy, FIFA have also made a different badge for their rebranded competition.
The Premier League actually blocked Liverpool from wearing the prestigious patch regularly after the Reds won the FIFA Club World Cup in December 2019 – allowing the honour for just one game – but Chelsea will not suffer the same fate, as that stance has since changed.
Why were Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup?
Having finished fourth in the Premier League last season, many have wondered why Chelsea were even involved in the competition this summer, whereas the likes of Liverpool – who won the title – stayed at home.
The reason for this is because FIFA opted to select just two teams per country, prioritising those who have won the UEFA Champions League most recently.
Liverpool won the iconic trophy in 2019, but Chelsea and Manchester City then did likewise in 2021 and 2023 respectively, consequently nudging the Reds out of contention.
