A familiar name with a new look: the old trophy, designed by Arthus Bertrand in Paris in 1960, had been in service for 45 years. Now, nearly half a century later, it is being confined to the trophy cabinet and replaced by the new Henri Delaunay trophy. The new trophy is 18 centimetres taller and 400 grams lighter (i.e. 60 cm high and 7.6 kg in weight). The modern design was conceived by British lifestyle house Asprey of London.




Another new feature is the inscription of the names of previous winners on the back. The
trophy – named after UEFA’s first general secretary – will be presented to the newly crowned European champions on 29 June 2008. It will remain the property of UEFA until a country either wins it three times in a row or five times in all.
