UEFA Cup (trophy)
Encyclopedia
The UEFA Cup, also known as the Coupe UEFA, is a trophy
awarded annually by UEFA
to the football club that wins the UEFA Europa League. Before the 2009–10 season the competition shared its name with the trophy, being also known as the UEFA Cup.
Before the competition was renamed to UEFA Europa League for the 2009–10 season onwards the UEFA
regulations stated that a club gets to keep the original trophy upon their third consecutive win or fifth overall. The new regulations however state that the trophy remains in UEFA's keeping at all times and that a full-size replica trophy is awarded to every winner of the competition. Also a club that gets 3 consecutive or 5 overall wins will get a special mark of recognition instead of the original trophy. So far, no club has achieved that feat.
The trophy was designed and crafted by Bertoni
for the 1972 UEFA Cup Final
. It weighs 15 kg and is silver on a yellow marble plinth.
