THE winner of the Club World Cup will wear a special badge for the next FOUR YEARS.
Manchester City and Chelsea head Stateside for the most-expensive Fifa club competition – which starts on June 14.
And the inaugural champion of the expanded competition will keep the gold logo until 2029.
That’s because the winners will be reigning champs for four years until the second edition in 2029.
The exact badge design has not been released yet, but it will likely mimic the golden crest Man City have been wearing since 2023.
As well as that, the winner will bank an eye-watering £100million.
