When Deepika Padukone unveiled the FIFA World Cup trophy on Sunday, she created history as the first Indian woman to do so. Prior to the thrilling final between the Lionel Messi-led Argentina and Hugo Lloris-led France teams, which ultimately resulted in Argentina's victory, Deepika Padukone and former Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas introduced the famous Jules Rimet Trophy. Alongside Iker, who was carrying the trophy, she made her way to the pitch at the Lusail Stadium in Doha.

Deepika Padukone, the world cup's global ambassador, was chosen to unveil the trophy on December 18 before the Argentina vs. France final since she has supported the tournament for the previous 10 years.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 trophy was unveiled as a significant component of the pre-game festivities, which marked the conclusion of the international football competition. The trophy is constructed of malachite and 18-karat gold and weighs more than 6 kg.
