FIFA has announced that it is selling pieces of the grass field to be used in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Each piece of turf, measuring 17.5 by 17.5 by 17.5 (units unspecified), is priced at $450 and will be preserved in acrylic with a USB keepsake.

Impact & Risks

The sale of the field pieces is likely to appeal to collectors and football enthusiasts, offering them a chance to own a piece of World Cup history. However, FIFA's pricing strategy for both the turf and match tickets has drawn criticism, potentially alienating fans who feel excluded due to the high costs. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the quality of the MetLife Stadium field, which typically uses artificial turf for NFL games, sparking debates about player safety and match conditions.
