Ryan Giggs with the Champions League trophy

The Uefa Champions League Trophy Tour presented by Heineken is coming to South Africa, and will be bringing Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs along for the ride.

Heading into its 12th year, the trophy tour has reached 31 countries across Africa, Asia, North and South America, and this year’s tour will visit South Africa, providing fans with the opportunity to get up and close to the famous trophy.

As part of its global campaign, the 2019 Uefa Champions League Trophy Tour will stop in Johannesburg on 5  March at Nelson Mandela Square at 12–3pm and then head to The Polo Room at Inanda for the match night.

Then on 6 March fans go to Durban’s Sibaya Lodge to watch Manchester United take on Paris Saint-Germain. For three days, fans will have a rare opportunity to take photos with the Uefa Champions League Trophy, meet Ryan Giggs and experience the thrill of the tour in their home town.

Giggs is considered one of the best players of his generation, having won two Uefa Champions League medals, and is the only player to have scored in 17 different Uefa Champions League tournaments, including 11 consecutive tournaments, 1996–97 to 2006–07.

South Africa is just one of the stops, as the tour will also go on to Namibia, Indonesia, Mozambique, China, Nigeria and USA.
