Yesterday in the afternoon the FIFA Trophy arrived at the Sarajevo airport with a special plane. In the framework of the tour which is organized by Coca Cola and which includes 90 countries, the three day visit to Bosnia Herzegovina started. On the airport, in the presence of the media and guests from the sport, public and cultural segments, the official reception and revelation was done. The special honor of the Trophy revelation was given to Zeljko Komsic, the Chairman of the Presidency and to the representative of FIFA, Mr. Pekki Odriozoli.
“I am glad that I can be a part of the event which brings a good atmosphere and positive energy from the World Championship, and special thanks I would like to give to our Dragons (Zmajevi), who presented us to the world in the best possible way. Moreover, our Dragons made us proud to be the part of the tournament which will unite the world in the love and passion for football,” said Komsic, who is, under the rules of FIFA, the only person in Bosnia Herzegovina who can touch the Trophy.
Director of the business sector of the Coca Cola Company for Southeast Europe Lana Popovic, said that Coca Cola is a part of the Bosnian Herzegovina’s economy for 39 years. She adds that she is specially satisfied with the fact that Coca Cola enabled the Trophy to arrive in B&H. “Coca Cola and Bosnia Herzegovina share at least one mutual love-football. This event is our present to all Bosnians, especially to those who will not go to Brazil this year, and who want to experience the unforgettable moment and to see the most wanted item of the millions of players and fans all over the world. It would be really fantastic if B&H passes the group stage and entangle the views of the world superpowers. I am positive that all who see this trophy will support the BH players even louder”, said Popovic.
In the next two days, in the Mirza Delibašić hall in Sarajevo, citizens of B&H will have a chance to see the FIFA Trophy. The exhibition for visitors will be opened on Friday, 07th of March at 13:00 and will last till Saturday, 8th of March till 21:00.
