The one-of-its-kind trophy has been designed and constructed by Thomas Lyte, the worldrenowned trophy makers from England. The trophy design, while reflecting upon the rich Emirati culture, takes inspiration from UAE’s majestic icon and national bird – the falcon as well as UAE’s most famous landmark, the Burj Khalifa.

The 7-pointed crown that aspires to weave together the seven Emirates (of the UAE), shaped as sand dunes inspired by the incredible sands of Tel Moreeb (Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi) – considered to be the world’s tallest dunes, which proudly sits atop clasping a cricket ball, as the trophy’s finial. The 830mm tall trophy pays tribute to the height of the magnificent Burj Khalifa which measures 830m from ground to tip.
