The solid gold FIFA World Cup trophy will arrive in South Africa on 5 May 2010 on the final leg of its global tour to give the citizens of 33 cities and towns across South Africa the opportunity to see it before it arrives at the opening match at Soccer City stadium on 11 June.

“Millions of South Africans will get an opportunity to see it up close and participate in celebrations as it moves across all nine provinces, plus those who have won competition tickets will have a special moment of having their picture taken with it,” says Onwell Msomi, GM: 2010 FIFA World Cup project team, Coca-Cola South Africa. “It is an event that will unite the nation and generate extra enthusiasm among all South Africans in the last 30 days before the kick off.”

In South Africa, it will move from town to town in a special helicopter beginning in the Western Cape on 7 May. At each of the venues, it will be prominently displayed for public viewing and about 800 people per event will be able to have their pictures taken with the trophy. The programme at the venues will consist of a wide range of activities appealing to all ages, including performances by artists and entertainers.
