Turkish producer launches FIFA 2026 bullion for Türkiye's World Cup return

FIFA-licensed collection

Nadir Metal Refinery, one of the few refineries worldwide authorized to produce FIFA World Cup 2026 branded bullion, announced on Friday that it will launch a special collection commemorating Türkiye's return to the tournament after a 24-year absence. The Istanbul-based company obtained production rights after completing FIFA's compliance procedures and securing approval from licensing rights holder MDM, leveraging its accreditations from Borsa Istanbul and the London Bullion Market Association. Each design was individually approved by FIFA and features prominent landmarks including the national flag, Maiden's Tower, July 15 Martyrs Bridge, and Hagia Sophia, according to the statement.

Design features and availability

The company said its designers developed a unique layout for silver bullion pieces, positioning the national flag's iconic crescent and star at the top of the bars to accommodate limited surface area while preserving the symbol's integrity. Inspired by childhood football card collections, the collection aims to offer families a meaningful long-term investment while celebrating the national team's participation in the tournament. Customers can pre-order products through NadirGold's website during the first week of June, with pre-ordered items shipped with insurance coverage once available and corporate customers able to place orders through a dedicated B2B request form.

Augmented reality and sustainability

The refinery will offer an augmented reality feature allowing customers to virtually view bullion products in their own environments before purchasing, bridging the gap between digital visualization and physical investment. Nadir Metal also highlighted its environmental credentials, noting that approximately 80 percent of production costs are allocated to waste treatment processes through its subsidiary 4R Environment and Energy, which provides waste neutralization services to more than 1,500 companies while the parent company continues to invest in renewable energy projects.

World Cup return

Türkiye last played in the World Cup in 2002, when the national team placed third, and will return to the tournament in 2026 — with the company noting that matches are scheduled against Australia on June 14, Paraguay on June 20, and the United States on June 26.
