FIFA has started selling non-extraordinary souvenirs for fans - fragments of the lawn at the MetLife Stadium, where the World Cup 2026 final will be held on June 19. The Athletic reports this.
The most available version costs 450 dollars. The lawn patch will be encased in acrylic resin to preserve it, and on the body will be placed the logo of the World Championship 2026, the name of the arena, the date of the final and the match bag.. Buyers can also remove the USB stick from the video, which confirms the authenticity of the souvenir.
The collection is produced by the British company Keep Stub. In addition to the base model, three more expensive options are available in prices of 900, 1200 and 3000 dollars. Leather from four countries will be issued in excess of 2026 copies. If the entire series is sold out, FIFA could deduct over 11.2 million dollars in revenue.
The highest version of the Hero Edition, next to a large fragment of the lawn, contains a commemorative metal ticket with gold engravings, a miniature copy of the ball for the final and a crystal model of the trophy for the world championship.
This means dzherelo, a lawn for growing on a special farm in Pivnichnaya Carolina and laying grass on the cob.
Just before the tournament began, football figures from the national teams of Brazil and France were already criticizing the fact that they were worried about the dryness of the surface and the softness of the mind for the game..
Selling elements of legendary sports arenas is still becoming a popular practice. Zokrema and similar collectible items have already been sold by American football clubs, Major League Baseball and the organizers of the NBA finals..
