World Cup sticker collection and exchange has become part of the whole World Cup experience.

With the World Cup sticker exchange, I can meet, trade and express my love of soccer with other fanatics of various backgrounds.”
The first informal sticker exchange hosted by the Hispanic Cultural Center and APSU Hispanic Alumni Chapter took place in Casa Blanca Mexican Restaurant on Riverside Drive after the opening game of Brazil playing Croatia.
