Georgia joins FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola

The Georgian capital of Tbilisi is hosting the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour today, which means that football fans can go see the trophy at Tbilisi Mall up until 6 pm.

The FIFA World Cup is football’s biggest competition and its Trophy Tour

by Coca-Cola is a rare opportunity for fans to see the original trophy up close and have their experience captured by a photograph.

Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, the President of Coca-Cola in Georgia Temur Chkonia and representatives of the football federation welcomed the trophy at Tbilisi International Airport this morning.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola kicked off in Moscow, Russia last September before going global to cover over 50 countries across six continents. It will return to Russia this May just ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

In 2006 FIFA and long-term partner Coca-Cola took an ambitious first step on a remarkable new journey by taking the original FIFA World Cup Trophy and flying it around the world in the build-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany.

The trophy will leave Georgia and continue on to Azerbaijan as part of its world-wide tour.
