The inaugural ASEAN Club Championship Shopee Cup Trophy Tour is set to begin in Hanoi, marking the first of four stops across Southeast Asia.
This tour gives fans the unique opportunity to get an up-close look at the newly-crafted trophy, which will be awarded to the club champions of ASEAN in this eagerly anticipated regional tournament.
The Shopee Cup trophy, meticulously handcrafted by the world-renowned trophy makers Thomas Lyte, will be on display at Vincom Mega Mall Royal City in Hanoi from 11 AM to 7 PM local time. Several of the biggest stars in Vietnamese football are expected to attend the event.
Top players from Đông Á Thanh Hóa FC and Công An Hà Nội FC are scheduled to make appearances at the event, which will start at 3 PM local time. The event will also feature various entertainment performances.
The Shopee Cup trophy was designed to embody the Shopee Cup logo, which is inspired by the iconic rice sheaf symbolizing ASEAN. This symbol represents the unity of its dynamic member nations, with ten bundles of rice bound together. Weighing just under 13 kg and measuring 28.6 cm in height and 43 cm in width at the bowl’s lip, the Shopee Cup trophy symbolizes the strong bonds and unity among ASEAN member nations, coupled with their spirit of competition.
Fans will have the opportunity to view and take photographs with the Shopee Cup trophy. Additionally, there will be an exclusive Meet & Greet session with the players, who will also participate in on-stage interviews during the event.
