At C. Forbes, Inc.<\/a>, we are honored to bring prestige and recognition to global stages, as demonstrated by our recent commission to craft and deliver a keepsake medallion for the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup.<\/a> Held from June 15 to July 13, 2025, across 11 U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Miami, the tournament showcased football\u2019s global reach. This landmark tournament featured 32 of the world\u2019s top football clubs, marking a significant expansion from its previous format. Our role in delivering this commemorative medallion underscores our expertise in crafting recognition pieces that celebrate historic moments, and we\u2019re proud to share the journey behind this exceptional project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Design Journey<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The process began as a collaboration with key FIFA event organizers to capture the essence of the inaugural Club World Cup. Starting with an initial client concept, our in-house design team<\/a> worked diligently over several weeks to develop the final artwork, incorporating feedback to refine the vision. The approved medallion features a striking obverse with the FIFA Club World Cup 25 logo in frosted gold, and a reverse showcasing a dynamic North American continent \/ football motif encircled with all 32 FIFA club badges in full color overprint detail. A frosted gold finish provides a subtle background, making the raised elements\u2014such as the North American continent\u2014stand out vividly. Crafted from premium materials, the 3\u201d medallion weighs approximately 6.5 ounces and was completed within a very-tight production timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
