United in Success
In 2012, DHL successfully partnered with Manchester United for the “DHL Champ19ns Trophy Tour”, which took the Barclays Premier League trophy and Club Legends around the world to celebrate Manchester United’s record-breaking 19th Premier League title. That Tour visited 27 destinations, including India, Turkey, Korea, Africa and Norway, covering a distance of some 77,000 kilometers.
The 2013/14 United Trophy Tour is aimed at building on the success of that first tour, as well as the record-extending 20th championship victory for the Club. It will bring the Premier League Trophy, a United Legend and, for many locations, a third new element – a museum showcasing artifacts from the Club’s history.
A unique opportunity for fans around the world
After visiting South America and Asia in late 2013, the Tour starts the new year in the Middle East and India, moving on to the United States and then back through Asia on its way to final destinations in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. All told, the Barclays Premier League trophy will travel some 67,000 miles to 31 destinations in 24 countries.
All across the globe, fans have the opportunity to join the Club in its 20th league title celebrations. If you can’t visit the exhibition personally, join the experience at home through a legend-guided digital museum tour delivered alongside the United Trophy Tour on DHL’s YouTube Channel.
