The UEFA Cup trophy, therefore, makes its final trip this month when officials from reigning cup winners Zenit St. Petersburg return the trophy to UEFA President Michel Platini. Mr. Platini will entrust the trophy to Istanbul Municipality Mayor Kadir Topbaş in the ceremony that is set to take place on Thursday, April 23rd.
The UEFA Cup trophy will thenafter be put on display in various spots around Istanbul for the general public, until the Cup Final on May 20th.
