5 days left before the start of the 9th Coppa del mondo della Gelateria and unfortunately Hungary has announced its withdrawal. The names of the participants and the jurors also underwent some changes. In particular, Alíce Diaz replaces Luis Sarmiento (Mexico) and Ja Afar Bin Haji Mohamad Ghazali replaces Ng See Yian (Singapore). Natalia Mendoza will take the place of Patricia Thomas in the press jury.
The President of the Gelato World Cup, Giancarlo Timballo comments: “Unfortunately, these last minute variations are part of any international competition that sees the participation of such a large number of champions. On behalf of the Committee, I wish ‘good luck’ to the 11 finalist teams, now in Italy for the final rush.”
The event, organised by SIGEP – Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) and Gelato & Cultura, will take place from 19 to 21 January 2020 in the South Hall of Rimini Expo Centre, during the 41st International Trade Show of Artisan Gelato, Pastry, Bakery and the Coffee World.
