The trophy was prominently displayed in the Jiangsu Cultural Exchange Exhibition Area, marking it as one of the event's key highlights.

The exhibition area was filled with elements of the league, affectionately known as "Suchao". The gleaming championship trophy, a giant football sculpture, a wide range of merchandise, and the emblems of all 13 participating teams created a lively atmosphere.
