Puyol, Gisele to unveil Trophy prior to the Final
In the minutes leading up to the kick-off of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™
Final, the FIFA World Cup Trophy will once again be unveiled. This
year’s special guest primed to do the honours is Carles Puyol, one of
the stand-out players of the Spain side that triumphed at the last
edition at South Africa 2010.
Alongside Puyol, who is considered
a footballing idol both in his homeland and across the globe, will be
Brazilian model and Louis Vuitton brand ambassador Gisele Bundchen. The
duo will be charged with exciting fans at the Estadio Maracana on Sunday
13 July when the Trophy is displayed before the game, prior to being
awarded to the next world champions later that evening in Rio de
Janeiro.
At the same time, the two teams contesting the Final
will be making their final preparations for the big match, eager to take
to the pitch and with the roar of the crowd ringing in their ears,
while the coveted Trophy stands just a few steps away; so near and yet
so far.
The Trophy will continue to be housed in its tailor-made
Louis Vuitton travel case, commissioned specifically for this purpose
by FIFA in 2010. Prior to the title decider in South Africa the captain
of Italy’s 2006 FIFA World Cup winning side, Fabio Cannavaro, took to
the pitch to unveil the most recognisable prize in sport and the Trophy
coveted by footballers everywhere, raising the levels of excitement
ahead of the match. It will be no different this year, with Puyol,
Bundchen and the Trophy sure to bring the Maracana crowd to its feet.
