FIFA Sells World Cup Pitch Fragments | New York City News
Description
FIFA’s turning the 2026 World Cup final pitch into a luxury collectible—selling actual turf fragments in acrylic displays with USB drives for $450 each, complete with authenticity film and a fancy box. Targeted at hardcore fans, the move comes despite criticism of MetLife Stadium’s artificial turf, and shipments won’t ship until after the final. Meanwhile, tickets for the match are hitting $32,970, and hospitality packages soar higher—proof that FIFA’s monetizing every inch of the beautiful game.
