A Sticker‑Swap Celebration
The Key Biscayne Community Foundation, together with the Village of Key Biscayne, is launching a series of free soccer‑themed gatherings that kick off on May 22 at Paradise Park. The initiative invites fans of all ages to trade Panini World Cup sticker cards while enjoying live music, food trucks, and a variety of games.
Organizers have set up a vibrant atmosphere with cornhole tournaments, a dedicated soccer goal area for children, and plenty of space for families to mingle. The events are open to the public and designed to bring the community together around the shared love of the sport.
At the heart of the festivities is the Panini FIFA World Cup sticker collection for 2026, which boasts a record 980 stickers spanning 48 national teams. In addition, 68 special‑edition cards highlight star players from powerhouse nations such as Argentina, Brazil, France, Spain, England, Portugal, and the United States.
The tradition of swapping Panini stickers dates back to 1970 and remains a global ritual for soccer enthusiasts. Collectors can purchase official albums at local retailers like The Golden Hog, while the upcoming events provide a unique opportunity to acquire and trade these coveted cards in a festive setting.
Beyond the stickers, the gatherings aim to celebrate the broader culture of soccer in Key Biscayne, offering a space where newcomers and longtime fans alike can connect, compete, and create lasting memories. With free admission and a lineup of activities for every age group, the series promises to be a highlight of the summer calendar.
