FIFA hopes to make over $11 million by cutting up the MetLife Stadium pitch into tiny pieces for fans.

Imagine holding the very dirt and grass where the world's greatest soccer star lifts the World Cup trophy. For thousands of wealthy fans, that dream is about to become a pricey reality.

WHAT HAPPENED

FIFA plans to dig up the natural grass from MetLife Stadium right after the World Cup final on July 19, 2026.

They will cut the turf into small pieces, put them in clear plastic blocks, and sell them to the public.

There will be four different levels of these grass gifts. Prices will start at $450 and go all the way up to $3,000 for the rarest pieces.
