The sale of FIFA World Cup 2026™ and FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final Halftime Show memorabilia commences less than one month after Christie's set the record for the biggest memorabilia auction in history with the collection of the late philanthropist and NFL owner, Jim Irsay. Over five auctions, 404 lots were sold, almost 30 records were set, and the collection sold for a total of $105.3 million.
Please visit Christie's other FIFA World Cup 2026™ related auction: Art of the Game. This is an online sale of sculptures in the shape of soccer balls, created by contemporary artists. The reimagined six-foot soccer ball sculptures are installed across New York City and New Jersey, inviting residents and visitors to experience contemporary art in public spaces throughout the summer of 2026. Christie's is thrilled to offer five of these works. A portion of the proceeds will benefit two different nonprofit organizations. ARTS 14C works to increase opportunities for artists, expand public access to the arts, and strengthen careers in the arts; Studio in a School was founded by the late art collector and philanthropist Agnes Gund, and aims to bring visual arts education to public school across New York City.
