What’s Included in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Meal?

The star attraction is the new FIFA World Cup 2026 Meal.

Every meal comes with the chance to collect one of six exclusive cups featuring football icons who have left their mark on the game.

Fans can look out for collectible cups featuring:

• David Beckham
• Ronaldinho
• Thierry Henry
• Heung-Min Son
• Lamine Yamal
• Grimace

The meal includes a choice of burger or 9-piece Chicken McNuggets, paired with a limited-edition Big Mac Sauce presented in special gold packaging created for the tournament campaign.

Customers can also add the Golden McFlurry, which combines vanilla soft serve with caramel sauce and crunchy toasted coconut pieces.

For collectors and football enthusiasts alike, these cups are expected to become some of the most sought-after items during the campaign.

This Launch Feels Right at Home in the UAE

Football tournaments often create a unique atmosphere across the Emirates.

Whether it’s packed fan zones in Dubai, families gathering at home, or friends watching matches late into the night, the FIFA World Cup brings communities together as few other events can.

Walid Fakih, Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s UAE, highlighted that the country’s multicultural population makes the World Cup experience particularly special.

With more than 200 nationalities living in the UAE, almost every national team has a passionate fan base here. That creates an energy that can be felt across restaurants, malls, public venues, and homes throughout the tournament.

McDonald’s UAE hopes to become part of those shared moments through this limited-time campaign.

The Happy Meal Gets a Football-Themed Upgrade

The excitement isn’t limited to adult fans.

Young football supporters can join in through the FIFA World Cup 2026 Happy Meal, which includes one of 23 special Squishmallows plush toys.

Popular characters such as Benny, Cam, Gordon, Maui, Debra, Winnie and Lindsay have been redesigned with football-inspired jerseys created exclusively for the campaign.

Each character features its own unique colours, patterns, crests and numbers, making them highly collectible.

To make things even more fun, every Happy Meal also includes access to a digital football game where children can test their virtual football skills and take part in the tournament experience beyond the restaurant.

Exclusive Rewards Await on the McDonald’s App

The campaign extends beyond food and collectibles.

Customers ordering through the McDonald’s App can unlock special offers, rewards, games and exclusive experiences connected to the FIFA World Cup 2026 celebration.

McDonald’s says more surprises will be introduced throughout the tournament period, giving fans additional ways to engage with the campaign.

For regular app users, it adds another layer of excitement to every order.

Football Legends Share Their McDonald’s Memories

As part of the global campaign, several football stars have shared their personal connections to McDonald’s.

David Beckham spoke about how football brings families and communities together, while Ronaldinho highlighted the shared joy that both football and McDonald’s create around the world.

Thierry Henry reflected on childhood memories of visiting McDonald’s in his hometown, while Heung-Min Son shared how familiar places like McDonald’s helped him feel at home when living abroad.

Even Grimace joined the celebrations with a simple message: friends, food and football make the perfect match.
