A display commemorating the Soca Warriors World Cup appearance in Germany is slated to open on July 9th in the Rotenburg city hall. Rotenburg was the host city for the Trinidad and Tobago national team during the tournament.
Rotenburg's sports minister Reinhard Lüdemann, pictured above, made the announcement to the
Rotenburger Kreiszeitung last week. Display cases are currently being speced out and they will be filled with items collected over last summer including photos from the reception of the team along Gerberstrasse, the official reception at the Heimatsmuseum, and the many parties that took place on the "Pferdemarkt" as the town square is known. Also on display will be the key to Port of Spain that was presented by its mayor to the mayor of Rotenburg, t-shirts, the famous T&T scarf, jerseys, autographs, and World Cup pins. All of this will document the event which represents a milestone in the history of Rotenburg according to Lüdemann.
A DVD of containing a two hour slide show of photos will also be made available to the public.
