LNER Community Stadium to host FINAL Panini FIFA World Cup Sticker Swap Event on Armed Forces Day 2026 in July

Hundreds of avid sticker collectors have attended the LNER Community Stadium, across two successful events, looking to complete their 2026 Panini FIFA World Cup Sticker albums.

As a result of popularity, our last FREE Sticker Swap Event of the World Cup will be held on Armed Forces Day 2026 on Sunday, 12th July between 10.30am-3pm, in the LNER Lounge at the LNER Community Stadium.

City of York Council’s Armed Forces Day 2026 is also taking place on the same day, with two football matches set to take place on the pitch, so a FREE ticket will be required in order to attend on this occasion. There’s also plenty of additional activity taking place in the FanZone to get involved with after your swaps.

To book a free ticket please click here, select Armed Forces Day 2026, select a block and choose the FIFA Sticker Swap Event + Armed Forces for as many people in your party that are attending.

Selecting a FIFA Sticker Swap Event + Armed Forces FREE ticket will allow you entry into the LNER Lounge via the main reception.

Visitors from as far as the Lake District, Newcastle, Chesterfield, Huddersfield and Hull have all made the trip to York’s LNER Community Stadium in recent weeks.

Collectors have been able to make significant progress in completing their albums with fellow collectors’ swaps, whilst a number of people were also able to boast a complete set after swapping in person at the stadium!

Let’s meet, bring your swaps to trade, and we’ll see you on Sunday, 12th July for the final time this World Cup! #GotGotNeed.
