As only 16 teams are competing for the final 8 in the World Cup more and more of the world’s attention is focused on this grand event.
How can we support our national team as big fans? Buying a jersey? A toy of the Mascot La’eeb? Or even a ticket to Qatar?
In fact, you can buy almost all these things at the official souvenir store in your country: mascot toys, soccer jerseys, ornaments, hats… anything you can think of related to the event. 70 percent of these goods are made in China, and the rest are from Vietnam, India, Pakistan and other countries.

In addition to souvenirs, inside the World Cup stadiums, 70 percent of the sporting goods, such as the national flags of the 32 competing teams, the soccer balls, as well as the referee’s whistles and horns, are from China. Surprisingly, these goods are all related to one small Chinese county- Yiwu.

Not only in the World Cup, tons of small commodities used in global events such as the Olympic Games were also imported from Yiwu.
