Three of Scotland’s best-known neighbourhood bars are set to host World Cup sticker trading events throughout the summer.
Every Sunday from 14 June to 12 July, football fans can head to McLarens on the Corner in Edinburgh, Church on the Hill in Glasgow and The Meadowpark in Bridge of Allan to swap stickers and work towards completing their albums.
Produced by Italian company Panini for more than 50 years, the iconic sticker collections have become a global tradition in the run-up to the tournament.
As anticipation builds for the 2026 World Cup, the three venues will bring the excitement of sticker collecting to life with dedicated swap shop sessions. Fans will be able to trade duplicates, hunt down rare stickers and edge closer to completing the official World Cup 2026 collection.
This year’s tournament, which will be held across Canada, Mexico and the United States, will feature 48 competing nations, making it the largest in World Cup history. The corresponding sticker collection is equally expansive, with 980 stickers to collect, including 68 special editions.
With seven stickers per pack — more than ever before — collectors have increased chances of finding star players, from established names such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to emerging talents like Lamine Yamal.
Finn MacKerracher of Signature Group, which owns all three venues, said:
“There are no better venues to cheer Scotland on this summer.
“We’re delighted to be bringing the magic of sticker collecting to McLarens on the Corner, Church on the Hill and The Meadowpark with our first-ever World Cup sticker trading events.

“Fans can trade duplicates, pick up exclusive stickers and get closer to completing their official World Cup 2026 collection.”
The events will take place every Sunday from 2pm to 4pm at each venue throughout the tournament. Every child dining during the World Cup will receive a free packet of football stickers, and a Sunday roast and children’s menu will also be available.
All three venues are operated by Signature Group, a Scottish hospitality company with more than 20 bars, restaurants, hotels and a brewery across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St Andrews and Bridge of Allan.
