FIFA will sell grass from the 2026 World Cup Final for $450, its official website shows.
The grass will be preserved in an acrylic cube and includes a USB, which features footage confirming its authenticity. Fans who purchase the keepsake will receive a hinged box that holds the grass and USB.
The 2026 World Cup Final will be held at 3 p.m. EDT July 19 in East Rutherford, N.J. Grass for the game was grown by the Carolina Green Corp. in Indian Trail, N.C.
It was transported hundreds of miles and laid over two days at New York New Jersey Stadium. More than two dozen trucks were required from the 12-hour journey.
That type of grass was first used when Brazil battled Morocco on June 13 in the first of eight 2026 World Cup matches at the stadium. Several players, including Brazil’s Vinicius Junior, criticized field conditions during the World Cup, calling it dry and slow.
Additional versions of the grass from the final are being sold at Keepstub.com for between $450 and $3,000.
FIFA also sells team-themed luggage, vinyl, match balls, hats, scarves, shirts and more in its store during the World Cup. Limited edition host city themed jerseys are available for $375.
Fans go all out in support at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
