Select Road to FIFA World Cup 2026
Panini
250 base cards

A bit of a joke when you read the official Panini write-up when they talk about the 'run-in to the FIFA World Cup 2026'. Most of the 48 teams have already gone home!:
The collector-favorite Select brand is coming for the run-in to the FIFA World Cup 2026 with 30 national teams from around the globe. Collect a 250-card, three-tiered (Terrace, Mezzanine, Field Level) base set with a rainbow of parallels of each, including the new Black Dragon Scale (#’d/1).

Be on the look out for 4 different super-rare, limited inserts: Stained Glass, Artistic Impressions, Visionary and Team Badges. Find two limited inserts per case, on average. Find 3 new autograph inserts for 2025-26: Select Few Signatures, Select Stars Signatures and Select Pairings. Open 1 Autograph card per Hobby International box, on average, including signers

  1. Please - would someone tell me why this collection is being released now with players from countries that never even played in the tournament.
    I think Panini are losing the plot along with everything else.

    1. Totally agree. 'Road to' collections should have been released in 2025 when teams were still taking part in qualifying for the tournament.
