Monopoly Fifa World Cup 26
Project Overview
Monopoly Panini Prizm: FIFA World Cup 26 board game, I spearheaded the visual execution of this high-profile extension of the established Monopoly Panini platform. My primary creative vision centered on bringing the energy of the soccer field directly to the game board layout, creating a dynamic, stadium-inspired environment for tabletop gamers.
Navigating complex co-branding pipelines, I worked directly with the official FIFA 26 brand guidelines and Panini’s design team to deliver a highly authentic, fan-focused visual experience. By balancing premium sports packaging constraints with the interactive demands of trading card game elements, the final art asset package captures the global scale of the World Cup while maintaining a cohesive and high-end aesthetic across all board components.
