During a sun-soaked weekend at L.A. Live in the shadows of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Panini America, with a few titanic assists from soccer legends Cobi Jones and Claudio Suarez, launched its three-month mobile tour in support of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Sticker Collection. On a weekend full of fun and firsts, Panini America officials engaged thousands of World Cup fans with interactive games, face time with the aforementioned World Cup legends and a grand unveiling of the company’s instant-classic World Cup van.
Everyone who stopped by the sprawling — and unmistakably “Panini” — L.A. Live setup received a free 2014 FIFA World Cup Sticker Album and a free customized sticker sheet. Fans who were crafty or lucky enough to score a goal on the huge Panini inflatable also walked away with a sweet Panini World Cup T-shirt.

  1. Man, that is cool. Reminds me of Falconfest in Atlanta. I like to take my girls to the “pregame” activities and they have a great time running through obstacles, doing skills, etc…. Awesome, Panini.

  2. Thank you Tracy. Looking forward to bringing my son out there. Do you know the times you will be at the locations?

    1. Tentatively . . .
      May 3 at the LaMichoacana store on Airline Drive (3 p.m. to 7 p.m.)
      May 4 at the 9th Annual Cinco de Mayo event at Traders Village (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
      Have fun out there.

    1. In Charlotte, we are going to be at a Kick It Soccer Tournament this Saturday at Crestdale Middle School (940 Sam Newell Rd, Matthews, North Carolina 28105). The event will run from 9am-2pm and we will be handing out free World Cup albums.
      We don’t have any retailer events scheduled for Charlotte so if you would like to participate in our mobile tour, this is the event to attend.
