FIFA to Sell Authentic Grass Pieces from 2026 World Cup Final for Up to $3,000
FIFA announced it will sell official pieces of grass from the pitch used in the 2026 World Cup final as part of a new memorabilia initiative. Each piece will come in a branded acrylic case and include a certificate of authenticity confirming it is from the final match's playing surface. The memorabilia will be offered in several versions, with prices ranging from $450 for the basic package up to $3,000 for premium bundles that include additional souvenirs.
According to Reuters, the number of units available for each version will be limited to 2,026, symbolizing the tournament year. Shipments to buyers will begin only after the final whistle of the championship game. This move is expected to generate millions of dollars in revenue for FIFA while giving fans a unique keepsake from one of the world's biggest sporting events.
