Zuru is launching a wave of FIFA World Cup 2026 Ballers.

This follows the success of its 5 Surprise NBA Ballers and will launch in January 2026, ahead of the World Cup kicking off in June.

The range features FIFA World Cup 2026 heroes, host nations and winners throughout history, with 33 football players to collect – seven rare figures and two super rares. Players come with accessories including a miniature football, goals and interactive pitch pieces to collect and build.

“The partnership with FIFA reinforces Zuru’s commitment to delivering innovation and excitement through licensing”, said Aneisha Vieira, Head of Licensing and Partnerships at Zuru.

“Ballers has captured the imagination of collectors globally, and this collaboration allows us to celebrate a shared passion for play and sport. It’s an incredible opportunity to extend the brand’s reach, inspire creativity, and connect with new audiences around the world.”
