It will help India to bid for more major tournaments in the upcoming years. Coca-Cola has a long-standing partnership with FIFA, on the occasion of this event, Coca-Cola made an initiative to roll the World Cup to different parts of India where people can get a trophy experience close to their physical proximity.

We would be privileged to see the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo play in front of our eyes.
