The Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour will offer a chance to see the FIFA World Cup Trophy and be a part of its rich eventful history.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy has been stolen on two occasions. The trophy was stolen while on display in 1966, prior to the World Cup Tournament in England. The coveted trophy, then called Victory, was later recovered, found buried in a garden by a dog.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy was again stolen in 1983 in Rio de Janeiro, home of the 2014 tournament. This time, however, it was not recovered as officials suspect thieves melted the trophy for profit. The Brazilian Football Association had a replica made to replace the stolen trophy that they had originally won outright in 1970 after winning their third world title.

The Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour was in Vanuatu on September 23 in the South Pacific. From there it will enter the CONCACAF region by way of Central America as is it slated to arrive in Costa Rica tomorrow before going to Honduras. It then makes it way to Panama and then enters the Caribbean with Jamaica as its first stop on October 5. The Trophy will then be showcased at the National Indoor Arena on Sunday, October 6.

The Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour is a showcase of the FIFA World Cup Trophy which is the prize for the winning team, which signifies their dominance and makes them a part of history as their country’s name is then sculpted unto the base of the trophy.

FIFA also presents another trophy, however, the Fair Play Award, which has been presented since 1970. Peru won the inaugural award followed by Argentina in ’78’, Brazil in ’82 and 86, and England in 1990. The Brazilians won again for Fair Play in 1994, England and France shared the award in ’98 before Belgium in 2002. Brazil and Spain shared the Fair Play trophy in 2006, while Spain won outright in 2010 in South Africa.

The Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour will give Jamaicans the opportunity to see up close the legendary trophy that has been lifted by the greats of the world game. Names like Pele and Maradona are synonymous with world football and this is the opportunity being provided to be a part of this rich history of world football.

Currently Ronaldo, the famed striker from Brazil, holds the record for World Cup goals with 15 to his name. Ronaldo was the Golden Ball winner in France 1998 and was runner-up for that same award to Oliver Kahn, the legendary German goalkeeper, who, ironically, Ronaldo scored on twice to claim the 2002 World Cup title 2-0.
