After experiencing a major global football tournament for the first time with the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017, Russia is gearing up for an even bigger football festival in less than 12 months' time. The game's flagship event, the FIFA World Cup ™, comes to Russia in 2018, and excitement is building by the day in the host nation.
However, it is not only the 11 Host Cities where this excitement can be felt. That is because, from the September, the most recognizable and iconic symbol of this great football event, the FIFA World Cup Trophy ™, will start its marathon journey around Russia.
The itinerary for the Russian tour was announced during a ceremony at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, where the captain of the 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning side will lift the trophy in a year's time.
"In the world of sports, there is simply no symbol as powerful as the FIFA World Cup Trophy. The whole planet knows this piece of art and associates it with glory .For FIFA it is also the passion of millions of fans around the world - regardless of age, gender, origin or social condition - represented in one single image, "FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura said.
"We've been working with your long-standing partner Coca-Cola to make this possible Today we announce the opportunity for people from all over Russia to experience this feeling. "
It will be the longest Trophy Tour of a Host Country in the history of the World Cup - and little wonder, given the vast size of Russia's territory. In a 123-day journey covering more than 26,000 km, the Trophy will visit 24 Russian cities, from Vladivostok in the far east to Kaliningrad, the most westerly of the Host Cities.
