21.09.2022.

On its tour of the countries that will participate in the final tournament in Qatar, the magnificent World Cup trophy arrived in Serbia on Tuesday.

Organized by FIFA and Coca-Cola, the glamorous ceremony at the Bel EXPO Center in Belgrade was attended by the head-coach of our national team Dragan Stojković and the famous Italian footballer Marco Materazzi.

“It is a great privilege to host of such a large gathering. It is a wonderful feeling being close to one of the most prestigious and beautiful trophies in the world of sports. The Golden Globe is the dream of every coach who leads the National Team at the biggest show of world football. I had the pleasure of touching it recently in Doha, during the draw for the group stage of the World Cup. Me and all my colleagues who will travel to Qatar in November and December dream of holding this trophy after the final game,” said “Eagles’” strategist Dragan Stojković.

One of the most popular and most trophy-winning Italian football players, world champion with Italy in 2006 and a member of the famous generation of FC Inter that won the ‘triple crown’ under the leadership of Jose Mourinho in 2010, thanked the host of the event for their hospitality and issued a number of compliments to the Serbian national team:

“Every child who takes his first football steps dreams of raising the winning trophy of the World Cup. I was lucky enough to fulfill my boyhood dreams in Berlin in 2006. I have many good memories of Serbia; as you know I played at Inter together with two legends of Serbian football, Siniša Mihajlović and Dejan Stanković. I would like to congratulate Mr. Stojković on qualifying for the World Championship and wish him another feat with his team in Qatar. He has young and talented footballers available, but also experienced ones who will be able to adapt to the conditions and the unusual time in which the tournament is played in Doha. Thanks to Deki and Miha, I am somehow also emotionally attached to Serbia, so I will be supporting you and it would not surprise me at all if you were the most pleasant surprise of the World Cup” – said the famous Marco Materazzi and then handed the replica of the Golden Globe to the coach of the A team of Serbia, Dragan Stojković-Pixie.

At the end of the ceremonial part of the program, the guests had the opportunity to take a photo with the trophy, which will visit all 32 countries participating in the final tournament in Qatar on its tour until the start of the World Cup.
