Chelsea Granted Rare Honour: Club World Cup Winners To Wear Special Badge For Four Years

Chelsea will wear a special badge for four years after winning the Club World Cup. They defeated PSG 3-0 in the final.

A previous report confirmed that Chelsea reached the FIFA Club World Cup final after a 2-0 win over Fluminense.

CHELSEA CROWNED WORLD CHAMPIONS

Chelsea beat Paris Saint-Germain to win the FIFA Club World Cup in New Jersey. Cole Palmer scored twice in the first 30 minutes and assisted Joao Pedro’s third goal. Chelsea won a trophy and earned £100 million in prize money. The Club World Cup badge was usually worn for one year. But Chelsea will wear it on their shirts until 2029.

WHAT MAKES THIS SO SPECIAL?

FIFA have changed the Club World Cup from an annual tournament to a quadrennial event, similar to the FIFA World Cup. Chelsea will showcase their world champion status for four seasons, an honour not enjoyed by any previous English club for this length of time. The badge is a symbol of global excellence and its presence on Chelsea’s kit will be a source of pride. Liverpool were only allowed to use the badge for one match because of Premier League rules at the time. However, with the regulations now changed, Chelsea can display the badge every time they play.

LOOKING AHEAD: CHELSEA’S NEXT CHALLENGES

Chelsea will start the new season as world champions and hope for international success. They finished fourth in the Premier League last season, securing Champions League football, and won the Conference League against Betis in the final. A previous report confirmed that Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League last season, guaranteeing Champions League qualification. They will face Crystal Palace, who finished 13th last season but won the FA Cup and as such will play in the Conference League, after not being allowed to play the Europa League due to multi-club ownership rules. With the golden badge on their shirts, Chelsea will carry extra motivation and expectation to prove that they are worthy of this rare distinction throughout the next four years.
