FIFA to Sell Turf Slices from World Cup Final Pitch
FIFA plans to sell individual pieces of turf from the pitch used during the World Cup final held in New Jersey on July 19 to supporters.
Pitch Preservation and Sale
The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) announced its intention to auction off segments of the grass from the stadium floor. These pieces will be available for purchase following the conclusion of the championship match scheduled for July 19 in New Jersey.
The decision follows FIFA's established tradition of memorializing major tournament milestones through physical keepsakes. Fans and collectors will have the opportunity to own a direct piece of the field where the world championship was decided.
Logistics and Availability
FIFA officials confirmed that the distribution of the grass slices will only commence once the final match has concluded. The organization is currently managing the logistical requirements to ensure that the turf is properly preserved and prepared for transport to buyers.
