Dilbertu Silva (50, Brazil), a member of the 2002 FIFA Korea-Japan World Cup and a global promotional ambassador for FIFA, said, "It would be really special to see Brazil and South Korea in the World Cup final."

Dilberto attended the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour event held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 16th and said, "We highly value the growth and possibility of Korean soccer. "It will be a meaningful game for fans around the world," he said.

Dilbertu visited South Korea with the World Cup trophy "genuine" as part of Coca-Cola's World Cup tour, which is the official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup and has exclusive rights to the World Cup trophy. He played as a key player in the Brazilian national team's midfield from 2001 to 2010 and played 89 A matches to experience the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. He also played for Arsenal in the English Premier League for a long time.

Along with Cha Bum-keun, former national team coach Cha Du-ri, Hwaseong FC coach, soccer commentator Lee Young-pyo, and Red & Golf Football Asian sports director Koo Ja-cheol, Dilberto said, "Through the 2002 World Cup, we formed a special relationship with Korean soccer and Korea. It is very meaningful to visit Korea as a FIFA global promotional ambassador."

Dilbertu then said, "Winning the World Cup was an experience created by everyone's hard work, humility, respect and trust in each other. I know how many people that moment means. "I feel more grateful," he said. "The 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan has been important in my life and my career. "It's really nice to meet Lee Young-pyo and Cha Du-ri again, who participated in the competition at the time," he added.

Meanwhile, on the same day, Dilberto himself lifted the original World Cup trophy (original FIFA World Cup trophy) and even kissed it among the participants. According to FIFA regulations, the authenticity can only be directly touched or touched by very limited people, such as players who have won the FIFA World Cup and heads of state. The original trophy was also placed in a transparent storage box at the media public event. Former Korean soccer legend Cha Bum-keun also had no choice but to just look at the trophy in the storage box.

However, after winning the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Dilibertu was qualified to touch the trophy himself. Thanks to this, during the event, he also performed a ceremony to lift the original trophy himself and kiss the trophy again. Former coach Cha Bum-keun said of the FIFA World Cup trophy, "I have a hateful feeling. "It's because I can't have it even if I want it," he said with a bitter smile, and Koo Ja-cheol also said, "I want it. I want it," he said.

Meanwhile, the World Cup trophy tour will be held for the sixth time this year to mark its 20th anniversary. Coca-Cola will unveil the original FIFA World Cup trophy to fans at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall until 8 p.m. on the 17th.
