Major Event Activation Architecture and Competition Legacy Programme
» Purpose
To transform the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ trophy from a symbolic competition asset into a multi-country engagement platform connecting tournament promotion, local participation and women’s football legacy.
» Design Logic
Use a major event asset as a platform for development, not only promotion.
Bring the tournament to local communities before the opening match.
Give member associations a structure to activate locally.
Convert visibility into participation, legitimacy and long-term interest.
