Men's World Cup Cup reaches Rio at the end of the month

Rio receives, on February 24, the FIFA Men's World Cup Cup as part of the international tour preceding the 2026 edition of the world's main football tournament. The passage through the capital of Rio de Janeiro is part of the Brazilian tour agenda, which also includes stops in São Paulo and Brasília, and puts the city once again in the spotlight of the global sports scene.

The visit is part of the world's journey of the original male World Cup trophy, one of the most emblematic symbols of the sport. The initiative aims to bring the public closer to the most coveted object of football and broaden the expectation for the next edition of the tournament, which will be held unprecedentedly in three countries: Canada, Mexico and the United States. The 2026 World Cup promises to be the largest in history, with more participating teams, more matches and an expanded calendar of celebrations.

According to the organization, the tour runs through 30 FIFA member countries, with 75 stops over 150 days. This is a rare opportunity, since the original trophy leaves the FIFA Museum in Switzerland only on two occasions: during the World Cup period and on this international tour. The passage through Rio, therefore, represents a special moment for fans, fans of the sport and for the city itself, which maintains a historical and affective relationship with football.

In addition to celebrating the tradition of the Men's World Cup, the visit of the Cup also dialogues with the future of football in Rio. The city is already preparing to receive matches from the Women's World Cup next year and will be the stage of the grand final of the competition, reinforcing its prominent role in the international sports calendar. The simultaneous presence of events linked to the male and female versions of the tournament highlights the importance of Rio as the seat of big decisions and as a global soccer showcase.

With a trajectory marked by historical endings, great idols and unforgettable games, Rio de Janeiro remains consolidated as one of the main stages of world football. The arrival of the Men's World Cup represents not only the countdown to 2026, but also the continuity of a tradition that connects past, present and future sport in the city.
