Ligue 1 has just unveiled its fresh new trophy and winners’ medals for the 2024/25 season, marking an exciting new chapter for French football.
Designed by the talented artist Mathias Kiss in collaboration with the luxury silverware company Maison Christofle, this new silverware brings a modern and elegant touch to the league. The new trophy replaces the beloved ‘Hexagoal,’ which had been in use since the 2006/07 season, witnessing seven different champions in its nearly two-decade run. While fans will always have fond memories of the old trophy, the new design reflects the league’s desire to evolve and embrace a new identity.

This update is part of a broader transformation that the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has been working on to reshape the image of French football. With the addition of a new sponsor in McDonald’s and the launch of a sleek new logo, the LFP aims to dispel the long-held view of Ligue 1 as a “farmers’ league.” As Jérôme Dumois, who leads the league’s rebranding efforts, put it, “This is about instilling a new mindset and a need for change.” These changes symbolize a fresh start for Ligue 1, as it strives to stand out across Europe and showcase the exciting, high-quality football the league has to offer.
