The biggest-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup™ Trophy Tour is set to make a stop in the Philippines this March 2023.
The tour will see the official FIFA Women’s World Cup™ Original Trophy visit country on 01-02 March 2023 with key activities being lined up during the tour to inspire people of all ages by ‘Going Beyond’ and to celebrate the rocketing popularity of the women’s game.

“We are delighted to welcome the FIFA Women’s World Cup trophy in Manila as the excitement continues to build up for the Filipinas’ debut in the most prestigious women’s football tournament in the world,” said PFF president Mariano Araneta. “We invite all football fans and stakeholders to come and visit the trophy when it arrives here to see women’s football’s biggest prize.”
Activities in the trophy tour will include various footballing mini-games such as freestyle football, penalty shootouts, and skills and header challenges. Fans will also have the opportunity to have a photo with the actual trophy as background.
“We hope that the upcoming trophy tour would inspire Filipino football fans and players, particularly young women’s players nationwide,” added PFF general secretary Atty. Edwin Gastanes. “It is a unique moment for everyone to see the trophy which is only seen during the official draw and the final match of the Women’s World Cup.”
