Various soccer dignitaries shared in the joy of seeing the trophy on display. The trophy will make its appearance at the V&A Waterfront.
It is making the rounds in countries that have qualified for the soccer spectacular in the US later this year.
Calls are mounting for soccer fans to boycott the event due to President Donald Trump’s aggressive approach towards immigrants. Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter is one of the advocates of the boycott.
