Spanish term or phrase: copa en propiedad

"El equipo de la primera *copa xxxx en propiedad*"

This is a caption under a picture of a soccer team. I guess it refers to when the team keeps the cup after winning a championship.

holders of the cup in perpetuity

Explanation:
Perhaps the photo is of the Brazilian national team:

"The Brazilian team won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930.[Wikepedia)

Asker: Hello LisaMac, I answered your question in the discussion section, but I don´t see it, so just in case, xxx is the name of the cup/championship. I apologize for not mentioning the team but as I told Edward this is for an unpublished book and I feel more comfortable not mentioning the name. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you for your help!!

to retain the cup

Explanation:
if your thoughts are right. If this is a famous club, you could post its details and the year and we could deduce the translation from the club's history...

Hi! In that case, I would definitely go for patinba's answer - only Brasil could do that!

Notes to answerer

Asker: Hello Edward. Thank you for your help. Sorry to be so secretive. This is the translation of a book that has not been published yet. The team won the championship several times and this particular time they kept the trophy. Like when for the world cup the team keeps it after the third time (or fourth?). For example Brazil.
