FIFA is selling pieces of the field from the upcoming World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for $450 each. The turf segments, described as "authentic 2026 FIFA World Cup Piece of the pitch," are preserved in acrylic with a USB keepsake. Each piece reportedly contains an "original fragment of the iconic Final playing surface."
According to FIFA's store, the acrylic USB features an authenticity film and is designed as a display piece for collectors and fans. The item is presented in a premium hinged shoulder box. The governing body states that orders will not be shipped until after the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final.
FIFA is limiting shipments of these collectible turf pieces to addresses within the United States and Europe. The exact dimensions of each turf segment are listed as 17.5 by 17.5 by 17.5, though the unit of measurement (inches, centimeters, or millimeters) is not specified. FIFA did not immediately respond to requests for clarification on these dimensions.
Players and coaches have previously criticized the quality of the field at MetLife Stadium, which typically features an artificial surface for NFL games. Ticket prices for the World Cup final are also substantial, with regular tickets reaching up to $32,970 and hospitality tickets priced at $34,500 and $32,500.
