At least FIFA is devoted to growing the game, as Infantino always insists whenever he is asked what he is doing with all that money. To that end, consider the goodies that are for sale at the official FIFA stores throughout the stadium in Toronto. Ahead of the Panama-Ghana game on Wednesday night, Panama T-shirts were available for $84. A Canada jersey is $160. A small stuffed toy of one of the official World Cup 2026 mascots — Maple, Clutch and Zayu — would be great for the little ones. Those cost $50. The stores also have a selection of soccer balls. Asked for the prices, the fellow minding the till said the “fake” World Cup ball — I believe you are supposed to call those “replica” balls, sir — costs $48. The official one is $250. Go with the replica, your kid won’t notice the difference.
