Coupe du monde 2026 : non retenu pour le Mondial, une star anglaise devient vendeur de…
A rather unusual scene unfolded on the streets of New York. Far from the pitches and jerseys of the English national team, Harry Maguire surprised passersby by participating in a promotional campaign featuring the famous World Cup stickers.
Although not included in England's final squad for the 2026 World Cup, the Manchester United defender still made a notable appearance in the United States, one of the tournament's host countries. But rather than preparing for a match, he was behind a Panini-branded stand, handing out stickers to fans.
These famous stickers, essential for every major international competition, allow fans to complete the official tournament album by collecting the qualified players and teams. Sold in mystery packs, they fuel a veritable sticker hunt among fans worldwide with each edition.
The marketing stunt quickly drew a crowd. Curious and amused, many passersby stopped to take selfies with the English defender, visibly taken aback by the scene. "What's going on?" a young fan reportedly exclaimed, surprised to encounter a player of his caliber in such a context.
This appearance comes at a particularly sensitive time for Maguire, who has been sidelined by coach Thomas Tuchel, who has made some bold choices for the tournament. Several key players have been left out of the squad, provoking numerous reactions.
For the English defender, this omission from the squad was a real blow. He had even publicly expressed his disappointment before the official announcement of the final list, confirming a difficult moment in his international career.
Despite everything, Maguire will have experienced a strange "World Cup"... in a street marketing version, in the heart of New York.
