As excitement builds for this summer’s FIFA World Cup 2026™, Panini is bringing the magic of sticker collecting directly to fans with a nationwide FIFA World Cup 2026™ Swap Shop tour.
From Saturday 23rd May to Saturday 30th May, three custom Panini vehicles will travel across England, Scotland and Wales, popping up in towns and cities to create the ultimate swapping hub for seasoned and first-time collectors alike.
The Panini tour will be landing in Manchester on Friday 29 May. The Swap Shop will be open from 10:00-12:30 at Argos, Manchester Fort Shopping Park, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, M8 8EP, and from 14:30-17:00 at ASDA Hulme, M15 5AS.
At each stop, fans can dive into a live swap shop experience, from trading their duplicates, to tracking down those hard-to-find stickers and getting one step closer to completing their Panini FIFA World Cup 2026™ official sticker collection.
Alongside the swap shop, fans will be able to pick up official albums and sticker packs, take part in exclusive giveaways, and watch live freestyle football performances from Craig Gorey.
Produced for every FIFA World Cup™ since 1970, Panini’s sticker collections have become a global cultural countdown to kick-off. With 48 nations set to compete across Canada, Mexico and the United States this summer, this year’s collection is the largest in Panini’s history!
Featuring 980 stickers to collect, including 68 special stickers, fans can discover the world’s greatest football talent, from legends such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to young superstars like Lamine Yamal. And with seven stickers per packet, more than ever before, fans will have even more chances to find those must-have players.
