The UEFA Europa League Trophy is the heaviest of all UEFA silverware. Tipping the scales at 15kg, it is 65cm high, 33cm wide and 23cm deep.
The trophy, a silver cup on a yellow marble plinth, was designed and crafted by the Bertoni workshop in Milan. Just above the plinth, a group of players seem to be jostling for the ball, when, in fact, they are supporting the octagonal 'cup' which is emblazoned with the UEFA emblem.
The original trophy remains in UEFA's keeping at all times, with a full-sized replica awarded to the winning club. Any club which wins the trophy three consecutive times or five times in total receives a special mark of recognition, with the club then starting a new cycle from zero. This happened last season as Sevilla fulfilled both criteria, winning a third successive title, their fifth in all.
In fact, sustained success has been so elusive that only four captains have managed to lift the prize more than once – most recently, Sevilla skipper Javi Navarro as the Andalusians triumphed for a second successive season in Glasgow in 2007.

The UEFA Europa League Trophy is the heaviest of all UEFA silverware despite, unlike other cups awarded in European club competition, having no handles.

Scrolls back to check
The best looking trophy in Europe. Only outclassed by the World Cup itself imo.

It’s a cracking trophy. I dread to think how much we’d get charged to get a lift.

I'm still kicking myself that in ten days time Tav could well be lifting that above his head.
Growing up in the 80s & 90s that kind of glory was reserved for the top Italian, Spanish and German teams.
Now it's our turn.

I’m not sure if it’s a different trophy to the old Fair’s cup one.
