World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium
This Sunday, Spain and Argentina will hit the turf at New York New Jersey Stadium, also known as MetLife Stadium, featuring natural grass for a change of pace. They will battle for the FIFA World Cup Trophy, with something extra on the line this time.
Introducing World Cup Championship Rings
For the first time, FIFA will award Super Bowl-style rings to the World Cup winners. On one side of the ring, the World Cup Trophy will be displayed, while the other side will be custom-designed for the winning team. According to the Daily Mail, both the coach and team captain will receive temporary rings immediately post-match, and their official rings will be customized to their sizes and delivered later along with a certificate of authenticity.
Fan Opportunities
If you’re not among the thirty players or coaches to win the World Cup, you can still acquire one of these commemorative rings. FIFA will produce 2,026 rings, with 1,996 available for fans. These rings are expected to be a sought-after souvenir, comparable to other sports mementos like Super Bowl rings.
This limited run should sell out quickly, given the passion both Argentina and Spain have for soccer.
