Armenian football fans will have a unique opportunity to get up close to the World Cup trophy that will come to Yerevan for the first time on February 7. The FIFA World Cup™ Trophy Tour organized by Coca-Cola is visiting 91 cities, across 51 countries and six continents, giving thousands of fans the chance to experience football's most coveted prize.

The Yerevan Tour by Coca-Cola will kick off with a press conference to be followed by a public display at Liberty Square from 16:00 to 17:00 for everyone to have a glimpse at the solid-gold trophy.
