Harry Maguire may not be representing England at the FIFA World Cup 2026, but the experienced defender still found a way to be part of the tournament atmosphere.
The 33-year-old Manchester United center-back was left out of England manager Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup, ending his hopes of competing in one of football’s biggest events. Despite the disappointment, Maguire has remained involved with fans during the tournament.
Recently, the former England international surprised football supporters in New York City when he appeared at Rockefeller Center to hand out official Panini FIFA World Cup 2026 stickers to children and fans.
The unexpected appearance quickly attracted attention, with many young supporters lining up to meet Maguire and receive the iconic stickers that have become a beloved tradition of every World Cup.
For decades, Panini’s World Cup sticker albums have been a major part of the tournament experience. Millions of fans around the world collect and trade stickers in an effort to complete their albums, making the tradition almost as popular as the matches themselves.
Maguire’s appearance at the promotional event brought excitement to fans in New York, especially children who had the opportunity to meet one of England’s most recognizable footballers up close.
Although he will not be playing in the FIFA World Cup 2026, Maguire continues to remain connected to the global football community. His appearance came shortly after reports that he would also feature on The Rest Is Football podcast hosted by former England striker Gary Lineker.
While England continues its World Cup campaign without him, Maguire’s surprise visit showed that he can still make an impact off the pitch, creating memorable moments for fans and helping celebrate one of football’s most enduring traditions.
