🤯 A bit of the World Cup final at home: FIFA sells turf pieces

🤯 A bit of the World Cup final at home: FIFA sells turf pieces It really would have surprised us if it had been any different. Even the stadium turf in East Rutherford is set to make some serious cash after Sunday’s final.  Anyone who wants to can now order a piece of the turf for their home — in the official online shop of the world governing body. Anyone who does so will be sent a piece of the pitch turf embedded in resin after Sunday’s final — permanently preserved, in other words. Along with the grass, there’s a USB stick containing an “authenticity film,” and the case features the World Cup logo, venue, date, and result. A genuine piece of history to put on display — and if anyone asks whether you were there at the final, you can always answer like this: “Not me, but that green piece next to my TV was there live.” Well, of course it’s not exactly cheap. If you want a piece of turf, you’ll have to fork out at least 390 euros.  By the way: the turf doesn’t seem to be all that great, since it’s the same one various teams complained about over the course of the tournament. In this stadium, almost everyone found the playing conditions at least somewhat unfavorable. Of course, that won’t matter once the turf has been split into pieces and ends up in living rooms across the US, the UK, and Europe. Those are the only places the souvenirs will be shipped to, after all.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
