Once again on the Saudi Arabia football stage, Italian luxury house Stefano Ricci unveils the official Trophy Travel Case for the EA SPORTS FC Supercoppa Italiana in collaboration with Lega Calcio Serie A, ahead of the tournament taking place in Riyadh from 18 to 22 December 2025. Conceived as more than a functional object, the case reflects how Italian football increasingly positions itself today not only as a sporting contest, but as a cultural expression in its own right.
This marks the second consecutive year the Florentine maison has been entrusted with safeguarding one of Serie A’s most significant trophies. Alongside the travel case, Stefano Ricci has produced a coordinated suite of medal presentation trays and bespoke accessories, designed to accompany the ceremonial moments that frame modern football, where presentation and symbolism carry lasting importance.
The Trophy Travel Case itself is defined by disciplined luxury and material intelligence. Its aeronautical-grade aluminium structure provides strength and precision, while calfskin leather embossed with the house’s signature octagonal motif introduces warmth and tactility. Gold-plated closures offer a restrained sense of ceremony, favouring longevity over display. It is designed to endure movement, scrutiny, and time rather than to compete for attention.
The decision to unveil the piece in Saudi Arabia is a considered one. Riyadh has emerged as a key stage in football’s global evolution, and the Supercoppa’s return to the Kingdom signals Serie A’s intent to engage meaningfully with a shifting international landscape. For Stefano Ricci, whose presence in the Middle East has long been grounded in discretion and craftsmanship, the collaboration aligns naturally with a vision of international growth shaped by heritage and substance.
As Lega Serie A continues to present its flagship competitions beyond Italy’s borders, objects such as this travel case assume a deeper role. They become carriers of identity, communicating values of design excellence, artisanal authority, and national heritage. In this context, the case does not simply protect the Supercoppa. It gives it context. Italian football arrives in Riyadh with its cultural language intact.
