Hundreds of fans draped in the colours of countries from across the globe gathered outside Toronto's city hall on Monday to catch a glimpse of the World Cup trophy, offering a preview of the multicultural ​spectacle the city promises to deliver when the tournament kicks off next month, Reuters reported. 

The city's rich cultural diversity was on full display around a sunny Nathan Phillips Square, from families in Colombia's bright yellow jerseys to fans wearing German and Croatian national flags as capes among a strong contingent sporting Canada's red and white colours.
