FIFA World Cup™ Bundle Sale Details
The time has come for the world to witness the culmination of passion, skill, and national pride as the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ takes center stage to bring together 32 nations. From thunderous strikes to acrobatic saves, from precise passes to dazzling dribbles, the tournament will showcase the extraordinary abilities of these remarkable athletes and engrave their names in sports history. As we celebrate the present, we will also commemorate exciting moments from the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010™ and FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™ that will be added to the Bundles. Will you be one of the lucky ones to get ahold of these incredible historical moments?
Breakdown of the FIFA World Cup™ Bundles
The FIFA World Cup™ Bundles will contain a variety of digital collectibles including Shirts, Mascots, Posters, Crests, FIFA World Cup™ Passes, and much more. These items are called Legits and collecting them will boost your Fan Score and increase your chances of winning prizes.
Higher-class Bundles not only offer a better chance of obtaining a FIFA World Cup™ Pass, but also provide such Pass for later stages of the tournament. As we progress further into the tournament, the significance of the moments increases. This means that the Memento collectibles become even better during these more significant moments.
There are four different types of Bundles that will be available in the Upland Store for USD or UPX. Each Bundle will help you complete collections and boost your Fan Score. Below are the details of each bundle:
After buying a Bundle, the package containing the items will be delivered to the player’s wallet within a few minutes. Once the player opens the package, the Legits are added to the player’s wallet and can be viewed in the Football Legits menu. For players looking to buy multiple Bundles, keep in mind that there is a cooldown between purchases.
Players won’t be able to swap or trade a Bundle. However, the Legits inside are tradable after they’ve been delivered to a player’s wallet. Also, it’s important to note that Passes are rare, and there’s a little bit of strategy that goes into how players can use them. Read on below for details.
What are FIFA World Cup™ Passes?
The FIFA World Cup™ Passes in these Bundles offer players the opportunity to acquire unique Mementos from each round of the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™, the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010™, and FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™. Throughout the tournament, players will have the chance to collect Passes, which can later be exchanged for Mementos. These Mementos can be Shirts, Boots, Match Balls, and even special Spotlights from the games, including unique one-of-one Goal Spotlights. Once a Pass is ready for exchange, players will notice that the "Exchange" icon will light up in their asset wallet, indicating that the Pass is now eligible for redemption in exchange for Mementos, including Spotlights!
Note: There may be a short delay between the conclusion of a round and the availability of the Pass Exchange feature. Therefore, players should remain vigilant and watch for the Exchange button to turn green!
Passes have three different categories:
- Rarity (Common, VIP, and Platinum)
- Tournament (FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™, the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010™, and FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015™)
- Tournament Stage (Example: Group Stage, Semi-Finals, etc)
All of these categories are taken into account when the Pass is being exchanged to determine which Memento the player will receive.
There are four types of Bundles, and the more exclusive the Bundle, the higher chance of getting a more valuable Pass. (Essential Bundles don’t contain a Pass)
For more information, please refer to our breakdown of each Bundle’s probabilities to acquire a Pass below.
