FIFA will sell off pieces of the pitch from the World Cup final, with fans able to buy small parts of the grass turf for around $445.
"Own a genuine piece of football history with an authentic 2026 FIFA World Cup™ Piece of the pitch, permanently preserved in a premium acrylic with a USB keepsake," the description on FIFA's online shop says.
