It has been lifted by the likes of Maradona, Matthaus and Beckenbauer - and now you can add names such as McParland and Rossiter to that list.

Academy director Frank McParland and some of his U18 players got the opportunity to see the World Cup trophy today as part of their trip to Doha to play in the Al Kass International Cup.

Pictured here (from left to right) are Connor Randall, Seyi Ojo, McParland, Jordan Rossiter and Daniel Cleary.

The trophy, along with the European Championship, travelled to Qatar with Spain, who are due to play Uruguay there on Wednesday.
