The Coca-Cola Company and FIFA will host a 70-day FIFA World Cup Trophy tour to allow thousands of fans from 50 African countries to get close to the authentic, solid-gold FIFA World Cup trophy. The Coca-Cola Trophy Tour will start at Cairo on 24th September 2009 and pause in Cape Town on 3rd December 2009.

At events, fans will have the opportunity to have a souvenir photo taken of them with the trophy, view a special 3-D movie showcasing memorable moments of the FIFA World Cup, participate in interactive displays and enjoy other entertainment.

The FIFA World Cup trophy stands at 36.8cm tall, weights 6.175kg and is made of real solid, 18-carat gold. The winners of the World Cup get to retain the trophy until the next tournament and are awarded a gold-plated replica instead.

Zimbabwe is ready to cash in on the World Cup 2010 by making beds, a huge total of 40 000 by next year in order to meet bedding requirements of hotels in South Africa. The beds are required to be rated three-star or more to meet the demands of FIFA (Federation of International Football Associations).

Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Walter Mzembi said accommodation, transport and the health system have to be ready for next year big football event. This boils down to a good night rest, appropriate medication (when needed) and a get-to-anywhere-fast transport system for the soccer players.

You may not need to be a professional football player to win the World Cup. France’s Bruce Grannec, 22, beat more than 530,000 online gamers (there’s a lot) from 52 countries in the FIFA Interactive World Cup to be crowned the champion. He won a Kia Soul urban crossover passenger vehicle, US $20 000 and an invitation to FIFA World Player Gala 2010. The EA Sports FIFA 09 PlayStation 3 soccer game final was held at Barcelona, Spain last weekend.

Besides sponsoring this online FIFA soccer event, Kia Motors will also be supporting the real, offline FIFA World Cup 2010 at South Africa.
