This weekend marked a big milestone for the city of Moncton, one of the six host cities of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015™, as they celebrated their 125th anniversary with a four-day festival. And joining in on the party was the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola.
Fans answered questions in the FIFA locker room quiz, met Official Mascot Shuéme, tested their skills against the amazing Robot Goalie and lived the dream of walking through the Winner’s Tunnel before coming close to the holy grail of women’s football. Everyone who came to the experience were able to take home a photo with the official FIFA Women’s World Cup Trophy.
