SUSU joined the longest in history national tour of the FIFA World Championship’s Cup. On September 19, students and employees will have a unique opportunity to not only see it “in flesh” but also make a memorable photo.
“During its entire history, our university has been inseparably entwined with sport. Glorious traditions of victories in all-Russian and international competitions, established during first years of the university’s existence, continue even still. That is exactly why the choice of SUSU as a venue for demonstrating the main football trophy is no accident. Undoubtedly, we have got a unique opportunity to see in the walls of the largest university of the South Urals the Cup that the greatest football players in history held in their hands. It should be noted that this is the first time that the FIFA World’s Cup is coming to Chelyabinsk, because previously the around-the-world “Trophy-Tour” skirted our region. Therefore I encourage all who wishes to use this chance and see with their own eyes the trophy which in a year-time will be given to Football World Champions – 2018,” noted the Head of the SUSU Press Office Dmitriy Rudenok.
The Cup of the FIFA World Football Championship is the major prize awarded to winners of the world championship, but which stays in ownership of FIFA. The six-kilogram trophy is made of pure gold. But the right to touch it only belongs to leaders of countries and winners of the football tournament.
The Cup will arrive to Chelyabinsk on September 19 and will stay until September 24; our city will become the third in the list of the tour.
It will be possible to see the trophy and take a picture on September 19 from 14:00 till 15:00 at the SUSU Activity hall. The place is under consideration, check the information on our web-site.
