Once the women’s, men’s and other awards have been announced at FIFA’s glitzy gala, the winners will step onto the stage and collect their trophy. So, how much do we know about it?

How tall is The Best FIFA award? What does it weigh?

The Best FIFA trophy measures 310 millimetres (just over 12 inches tall) and weighs 6.4 kilograms (14 pounds). It also consists of five sections: the lower part, the base, a piece of carbon on the base, the body, and the ball.
