FIFA Ambassador and former Argentina international Gabriel Calderon said "I am delighted to have been selected to participate in the 2013 FIFA World Cup™ Trophy Tour. The FIFA World Cup™ Trophy is a symbol of sporting prowess, bringing great nations together to celebrate the beautiful game. Playing in the FIFA World Cup™ was the biggest honour I could have imagined, and I have witnessed and experienced the same passion and admiration for the game throughout the Middle East during my time here. This is a fantastic experience to be a part of."

Scott McCune, Vice President of Integrated Marketing Coca-Cola Middle East said, “Bringing the trophy to Qatar has been a truly humbling experience. To be able to witness the power football has to bring people together under a common passion. This is what makes this trophy, the “world’s cup” which is why we are taking the trophy on its longest journey to date, visiting 90 countries over 9 months. To quantify the tour, we will be traveling 92000 miles which is over 3.5 times around the world.”

Khalifa Al Haroon, founder of iLoveQatar.net was also attending the event and was one of the few people allowed to go on board the world cup trophy plane. He commented, ''It's fantastic that we have been given the opportunity to host the world cup not only has it united the region but its an opportunity for us to show the world how great welcoming and forward thinking Qatar is.''
