Colombia will be one of the privileged countries to receive the Original FIFA World Cup Trophy as part of the official tour leading up to the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The iconic trophy, the most coveted prize in world football, will arrive in Bogota on Feb. 15 and 16, 2026, where it will be on public display at the Gran Salon of Corferias.
The trophy’s visit is part of the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour, a global initiative organized by FIFA and presented by Coca-Cola, aimed at bringing football’s ultimate symbol closer to fans in different countries ahead of the tournament. For Colombia, this will be a unique opportunity to see the trophy once again on national soil, following its last visit in 2014, ahead of the Brazil World Cup.
