This week the FIFA Fan Movement selections feature a giant hologram of a flaming lion in Argentina, Hertha marking 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, FIFA's new high-profile signing and more!
Holographic lion a roaring success
From Jewel Ramos (Honduras) Argentine Primera Division side Estudiantes de La Plata celebrated the reopening of Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium after years of renovations in stunning fashion. Returning for their first match at the ground since 2005, the club – known as El Leon (The Lion) – marked the occasion with a giant flaming lion hologram, which appeared on top of the stands after emerging from the night sky. Before sizing up its new-look surroundings, the lion leapt onto the pitch in front of the awe-struck crowd. It's no wonder bsrocks8 submitted this one!

To mark the historic occasion, German Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin had their own wall on the Olympiastadion pitch before kick-off, which stretched along the halfway line, and was deconstructed before action commenced.

The Socceroos, working with the Australian Embassy and the Jordan FA, provided football sessions for underprivileged children in the west Asian nation. Thanks to PashaHajian for flagging this one.
