2018 World Cup Trophy Auctioned for €54,000
Benjamin Mendy sold his official 2018 World Cup trophy, which he won with the French national team, for approximately 54,000 euros ($62,200) at an auction organized by Goldin. The sold item is not the original trophy held by FIFA, but rather an official, signed, and serial-numbered replica that bears an engraving commemorating France's victory over Croatia in the final. The auction was highly competitive, with 38 bids before it closed, alongside a 2018 World Cup winner’s ring gifted by Paul Pogba. This move is part of a display of rare football memorabilia, while Mendy's professional career has been marked by transfers and legal challenges. He temporarily stopped playing due to rape allegations but was cleared in July 2023 and has since resumed playing in Poland.
