World Cup trophy makes a stop in Dallas just weeks before tournament starts in Qatar

The World Cup starts in two weeks, and while soccer fans are excited for the start for the tournament, there was something else they were pumped about Sunday, when the World Cup trophy stopped in Dallas.

DALLAS - The World Cup starts in two weeks, and while soccer fans are excited for the start for the tournament, there was something else they were pumped about Sunday, when the World Cup trophy stopped in Dallas.

The 2022 World Cup will be airing on FOX 4 here in North Texas and on FOX stations across the country, but as ready as soccer fans are for the tournament, many in North Texas are looking even further ahead.

A trophy only held by the best-of-the-best in soccer was in Dallas on Sunday ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

"I just can’t express how excited I am," 9-year-old soccer fan Carolina De La Torre said.

Soccer fans like Carolina and her 11-year-old brother, Emiliano, are ready.

The trophy was in town for Coca-Cola’s promotion tour prior to the World Cup in Qatar beginning November 20.

"I’m looking forward to the World Cup, man," soccer fan Taylor Jergensen.

But looking ahead to 2026, there are two Texas cities, Dallas and Houston, that will be hosting World Cup matches.

"This is like the Super Bowl on steroids," FC Dallas President Daniel Hunt said.

Hunt, who’s also chairman of Dallas’ 2026 World Cup bid, says we’ll be guaranteed four matches at AT&T Stadium, but there could be semifinals matches, and even a final.

"And we’ll know in third or fourth quarter of 2023 what other matches we’ll get," Hunt explained.

"I will watch every game that I can get on my TV at any given moment," Jergensen said.

Jergensen is ready for this year’s matches, but he’s even more ready to buy tickets for the 2026 games in Dallas.

"I’ll mortgage my house. I don’t care, I’ve got to go," he added.

Retired soccer greats are also in town for the trophy tour.

"When I look to that trophy, I feel joy, I feel proud," FIFA World Cup Champion Kaka said.

While some fans hope one day they’ll be in that category.

FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour Stops in Dallas

FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour Stops in Dallas

By Derek Fleming - Freelance Writer

Nov 8, 2022

Governor Greg Abbott welcomed the FIFA World Cup Trophy on Sunday as the iconic and legendary solid-gold award is presented for fans to view ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Dallas and Houston are host cities for the world’s largest sporting event. The trophy will visit a total of 51 nations and for the first time ever, will make stops in all 32 participating countries.

“It is an honor to have the FIFA World Cup Trophy here in Texas, especially because in 2026 Dallas and Houston will host the FIFA World Cup,” said Abbott. “The Lone Star State is a premier sports destination with passionate sports fans. As the hosts of Super Bowls, conventions, and other large events, Dallas and Houston are experienced in the logistics of world-class events. We look forward to welcoming FIFA, its sponsors, and its fans here in Texas in 2026.”

The FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour is presented by Coca-Cola and kicked off on May 11 in Dubai, UAE. The trophy has been used by FIFA and presented to the winner since 1974. The trophy is 24-carat gold and has a base of malachite, a semi-precious dark-green stone. It is considered one of the most valuable trophies in the world, with an estimated value of around $20 million.

“As football fans around the world gear up to support their teams, Coca-Cola is thrilled to offer fans the opportunity to experience the trophy ahead of the tournament,” said Brad Ross , vice president of Global Sports & Entertainment Marketing and Partnerships at The Coca-Cola Company.

“The real magic of the FIFA World Cup exists with fans believing in their teams and showcasing their passion for the game.”

Soccer is the fastest-growing sport in the United States. A 2019 study by Gallup Sports suggested that 52% more Americans consider themselves fans of the sport than in 2012.

In Texas, the popularity of the sport has translated into fans filling stands and the development of local talent through clubs such as FC Dallas and Houston FC, both of which made the MLS playoffs this season on the strength of homegrown talent.

FIFA intends the trophy tour to eventually be seen by all 211 member countries, a goal the organization hopes to meet by 2030. For billions of fans worldwide, the opportunity to see the most coveted trophy in the sport is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“The FIFA World Cup Trophy is one of the greatest symbols in sport,” said FIFA Chief Business Officer Romy Gai. “Bringing it on tour gives us a unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on the fantastic communities around the world who love the beautiful game. The trophy tour – which will end back in Qatar, our amazing hosts – highlights our commitment to making football truly global as we realise the dreams of our fans and bring the joy and excitement of the FIFA World Cup to their doorsteps, together with our long-standing partner Coca-Cola.”

FIFA World Cup 2026™

Dallas, or the “Big D”, is rich in American history, and forms the cultural and commercial hub of the region. With a robust economy comprised of e-commerce and electronics, to banking and manufacturing, Dallas continues to foster the entrepreneurial spirit that led Fortune magazine to deem it “the best place in the nation to do business.” The city was founded as a 1840’s trading post catering to trappers, soldiers, and cowboys on the Trinity River. Today, North Texas is a 16-county region including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and the cities in between which make North Texas the fourth largest metropolitan region in the United States.

With an impressively large youth football system, an incredible stadium, and experience hosting Super Bowls and numerous men’s and women’s national team matches over the past few years, Dallas is prepared to be a FIFA World Cup™ Host City. North Texas became home to the Dallas Burn in 1995, and played in its first game in front of 27,779 fans at Cotton Bowl Stadium. In 2004, the team was renamed to FC Dallas. Today, the North Texas football community is one of the largest in the United States, with nearly 176,000 registered players. The Dallas Cup, the largest international youth football event in the country, annually brings the world’s finest young players and more than 150,000 spectators to Dallas.

Of special significance in the Dallas and North Texas’ history is the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA™, when six games were played at the Cotton Bowl, and FIFA placed its tournament headquarters and the IBC in Dallas. The area is home to 14 professional sports franchises including all five major American sports with the Dallas Cowboys (NFL), Dallas Mavericks (NBA), Dallas Stars (NHL), FC Dallas (MLS), and the Texas Rangers (MLB), resulting in a sports-intensive event calendar. The 2004 Breeders Cup, the 2007 National Hockey League All-Star Game, the National Basketball Association All-Star Game (2010), Super Bowl XLV (2011), and the national collegiate basketball championships (2014) have all found North Texas a compelling host.

Dallas Named a Host City of FIFA World Cup 2026™

North Texas region selected as one of 16 hosts cities among three countries; AT&T Stadium a primary venue for games.

DALLAS (June 16, 2022) – The City of Dallas was named one of 16 host cities for FIFA World Cup 2026™, announced today by FIFA on a live broadcast from New York City. It is a significant milestone on the road to FIFA World Cup 2026™ as the 16 host cities in three countries are due to stage matches between 48 teams.

A crowd of enthusiastic fans gathered at the AT&T Discovery District in downtown Dallas to watch the live announcement, celebrating the historic announcement as Dallas was named one of the host cities for the first time since 1994.

"This is a big day for the city of Dallas. Being named as a host city for FIFA World Cup 2026™ provides a once-in-a generation opportunity to create a legacy for North Texas through the most popular sport in the world," said Dallas Sports Commission Executive Director Monica Paul. "From infrastructure and arts to top-level training facilities and a world-class venue in AT&T Stadium, Dallas offers everything that the committee could have wanted in a host city. It's incredibly gratifying to be chosen, and we can't wait to begin preparing for FIFA World Cup 2026™."

Cities also named as FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities include Atlanta, Boston, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Monterrey, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver.

"There is no greater sporting event in the world than the FIFA World Cup," said Dan Hunt, Dallas 2026 Host City Bid Chairman and President, FC Dallas. "We are thrilled that FIFA has selected Dallas as a host city for the North American bid and FC Dallas is proud to play an important part in this process.

"The legacy of the 1994 World Cup is a big reason why we're here today. On the back of that World Cup, Major League Soccer was born. As the league has grown, the appetite for elite-level soccer continues to flourish. There has never been a better moment in time to be involved in the beautiful game than right now."

Today's announcement follows the most transparent and comprehensive bidding process in football history, with FIFA's decision having been made in the best interests of the game, taking into consideration the needs of all stakeholders involved in the FIFA World Cup 2026.

"We congratulate the 16 FIFA World Cup Host Cities on their outstanding commitment and passion," said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. "Today is a historic day – for everyone in those cities and states, for FIFA, for Canada, the USA and Mexico who will put on the greatest show on Earth. We look forward to working together with them to deliver what will be an unprecedented FIFA World Cup and a game-changer as we strive to make football truly global."

"We were delighted by the unparalleled competitiveness of this selection process," added FIFA Vice President and Concacaf President Victor Montagliani. "We are extremely grateful not only to the 16 cities that have been selected, but also to the other six – with whom we look forward to continuing to engage and explore additional opportunities to welcome fans and participating teams. This has always been a FIFA World Cup of three countries, and that undoubtedly will have a tremendous impact on the whole region and the wider football community."

AT&T Stadium in Arlington will be one of the primary venues in FIFA World Cup 2026™.

"Our region is known for delivering a world-class sports experience, and FIFA World Cup 2026™ will fit perfectly within that framework," said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. "We're thrilled that the committee has selected Dallas as a host city and can't wait to once again showcase our region on a global stage. AT&T Stadium is one of the world's premier sports venues, an elite facility worthy of hosting FIFA World Cup 2026™. I couldn't be prouder to welcome one of the world's most popular sport inside the home of the Dallas Cowboys, and I am confident our fan base will respond with an energy befitting 'The Beautiful Game.'"

The highly anticipated announcement was made on a TV show produced in cooperation with FOX and Telemundo from New York and broadcast live to host countries Canada, Mexico and the USA, as well as the whole world via FIFA+ .

How Coca-Cola Brought ‘Real Magic’ to Fans Along the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour

For Coca-Cola, the “real magic” of global tentpole events like the FIFA Men’s World Cup lies in the opportunity to bring people together for simple moments of connection. The beverage giant has been an official sponsor of the tournament, which attracts billions of viewers, since 1978. And ahead of this year’s event, the brand launched a 51-country FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour to unite soccer (“football,” if you must) buffs around their shared passion point, and make inroads with the next generation of consumers.

Coca-Cola’s Real Magic platform, which “invites the world to celebrate the real magic of humanity,” served as the foundation of the tour, kicking off in Dubai in May and wrapping shortly before the start of the quadrennial tournament, taking place Nov. 20 to Dec. 18 in Qatar. This marks the first time the iconic, solid-gold trophy has traveled to all 32 of the tournament’s qualifying nations, giving fans around the world a rare opportunity to see it up close and personal.

From the FIFA World Cup archives:

  • Sponsorship: Visa Spreads World Cup Fever With Interactive Lounges and In-Stadium Experiences
  • How Top Brands are Engaging Fútbol-Loving Consumers

To get in on the action, consumers in Trophy Tour markets could purchase specially marked FIFA World Cup Original Taste or Zero Sugar 20-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola. By scanning the QR code on the packaging or registering with a code located under the cap, fans could sign up to receive two tickets to their respective stop.

In November, as part of the final leg of the tour, Coke made its way to Dallas, which served as the only two-day stop in North America. The brand took over the multilevel Lighthouse Artspace to engage attendees in photo ops, meet-and-greets with soccer legends, projection-mapped imagery, sampling, games and, of course, what many fans viewed as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the FIFA World Cup trophy.

“Dallas is where we are really leaning in as one of the sites of the 2026 World Cup, and where there’s a significant consumer base that is multicultural and young and really passionate about the sport,” says Ryan Keen, senior marketing manager at Coca-Cola.

The program launched with a welcome event for media at the DFW International Airport, where a Coca-Cola archives touchscreen experience was installed in the international terminal. Then it was on to Lighthouse Artspace to fire up fans. There, the trophy was front and center, positioned for photo ops, as attendees arrived. But there was plenty more to explore.

Coke FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour 2022_inside footprint

The footprint at Dallas’ Lighthouse Artspace offered a video gaming lounge, foosball, photo ops and more.

The activation was packed with activities designed to fuel fans’ passion for the sport and their teams, and touchpoints that conveyed the history of Coke’s World Cup sponsorship. An ink studio offered temporary tattoos that dared attendees to commit to the promises they made if their team won the tournament, with a number of funny phrases to choose from. A video gaming lounge featured stations to play FIFA , while foosball tables and other soccer-themed games were also on tap. An activation by Panini America, a platform for sports trading cards and sticker collections, was also part of the mix.

Plus, a Coca-Cola archives display showcased memorabilia and artifacts from previous World Cups the brand participated in. The physical display was supplemented by the same digital archives installation available at the airport, which offered timelines, galleries and other historical data. And finally, fans could partake in a photo op highlighting all of the different jerseys and teams sponsored by Coca-Cola in this year’s tournament.

Content-wise, Coke captured plenty of its own footage, with plans to repurpose it to reach other consumers. And that’s not to mention all of the user-generated content the Trophy Tour yielded, along with a boost from influencers and media partnerships with organizations like Bleacher Report.

Creating eco-conscious experiences throughout the tour was another essential element of the campaign, and part of Coca-Cola’s broader sustainability strategy. All 20-ounce products were served in the brand’s 100-percent rPET (recycled plastics) bottles, an offering that is typically exclusive to Texas markets. Robust recycling programs at each event collected bottles to be remanufactured into new ones in partnership with Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages. In addition, a variety of items used along the tour were donated to local Boys & Girls Clubs, including gaming systems, foosball tables and TVs.

“By tapping into these worldwide events, it helps build on that excitement that piques the interest of maybe newer and younger consumers,” says Keen. “Coca-Cola is all about bringing people together and nothing does that more than sports and other passion points that we typically have aligned ourselves with. Like the Olympics, these are some of the longest-standing partnerships that exist not just for us, but for any brand, and that core human insight and emotion has been consistent, and why we continue to invest behind that.” Agency : Momentum Worldwide.

When is the 2024 SheBelieves Cup?
