The staggering prices of promotional jerseys for the 2026 World Cup. |
According to information from FIFA's official store, each limited-edition jersey costs up to $375 . This is a staggering figure, many times higher than the official fan jerseys of national teams. For example, Argentina's away jersey costs around $110 .
The collection is being promoted as a line of products inspired by the host cities of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In the first images released, FIFA showcases designs representing cities including New York/New Jersey, Kansas City, Seattle, and Boston with a colorful, artistic graphic style.
However, the reaction from the online community was completely contrary to expectations. On many international football forums, numerous fans criticized the design of the jerseys as cluttered, lacking in distinctive features, and not giving a premium feel commensurate with the nearly $400 price tag.
The incident quickly became a controversial topic on social media, especially in light of predictions of significant increases in ticket prices, travel costs, and related products for the 2026 World Cup.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first World Cup to feature 48 teams and will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. However, even before the ball starts rolling, FIFA is facing negative reactions from fans regarding the business and commercialization of the tournament.
