As Oceania’s first piece of professional silverware, the OFC Pro League trophy marks the start of a new future for football in the region, and is the prize on offer for the winner of Sunday's final between South Melbourne FC and Auckland FC at Eden Park.
The traditional Māori Koru pattern is central to the design of the trophy and is one of the most significant and widely recognized symbols in Māori art and design.
The unfurling frond represents new life, personal growth, and fresh starts – as the birth of a new era for club football in Oceania. Just as the fern grows strong, the koru symbolizes inner strength and perseverance as different nations and clubs grow through the shared experience of professional football.
The OFC Pro League trophy is the new symbol of football in Oceania and the Pacific, and its koru patterns emphasize a fresh beginning built on strong foundations of football history and culture across the region.
For it's first holders on Sunday, Oceania football immortality awaits as the inaugural winners of the region's first professional football competition.
