FIFA World Cup 2026 Trophy Arrives in Thailand Ahead of One-Day Public Exhibition

The iconic trophy lands in Bangkok as part of the global Trophy Tour, offering fans a rare chance to see the original ahead of the 2026 tournament
The FIFA World Cup 2026 Trophy has arrived in Thailand, delivering a momentous occasion for local football fans as anticipation builds ahead of the global tournament.

The solid-gold trophy touched down at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok on January 23, greeted by representatives from Coca-Cola’s regional and Thai operations alongside Thai football leadership, including the President of the Football Association of Thailand under Royal Patronage.

The arrival was further distinguished by the presence of Brazilian World Cup winner Gilberto Silva, who joined the welcome ceremony and posed with the historic emblem of football excellence.

This visit marks Thailand as one of the select destinations on the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola, a worldwide campaign celebrating the prestige and cultural impact of the sport in the run-up to the 2026 tournament.

On Saturday, January 24, the original FIFA World Cup Trophy will be publicly displayed at River Park on the ground floor of ICONSIAM in Bangkok for one day only, providing a rare opportunity for Thai supporters to see the celebrated symbol of global football achievement up close.

Organisers hope the event will galvanise enthusiasm among fans and reaffirm football’s deep-rooted popularity in Thailand as the countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues.

The Trophy Tour underscores Coca-Cola’s longstanding partnership with FIFA and its commitment to connecting communities with the spirit of one of the most iconic sporting events in the world.

The highly anticipated display is expected to draw crowds and inspire excitement for the approaching competition, reinforcing Thailand’s vibrant football culture and spirit.
