2022 Panini Prizm FIFA World Cup Qatar

The 2022 Panini Prizm FIFA World Cup Qatar release was the flagship Prizm product for the Qatar 2022 World Cup and the most chased soccer set of that tournament. Built around Panini's signature chromium Prizm technology, it covered all 32 qualifying nations and, for the first time in Prizm World Cup history, guaranteed an autograph in every Hobby box. It remains the definitive rainbow-chasing set for the tournament won by Lionel Messi's Argentina.

Base Set

The base set comprises 300 cards spanning all 32 teams that qualified for the finals, from established superstars to breakout tournament names. Every base card is the foundation of the full Prizm parallel rainbow.

The set was issued in several formats to suit different collectors:

• Hobby — 12 cards per pack, 12 packs per box.
• Breakaway — 9 cards per pack, 10 packs per box.
• Choice — 8 cards per pack, 1 pack per box.
• FOTL (First Off The Line) — online-exclusive early-release Hobby.

Many inserts also carry their own Green Ice and White Sparkle parallels.

Autographs & Memorabilia

Every Hobby box promised one autograph. The signing programme runs across Signatures, International Ink and the short-printed Dual Signatures, and is famous for Kylian Mbappé appearing as a Panini autograph signer for one of the first times under his exclusive deal.

Key Names to Chase

Lionel Messi is the centrepiece card of the set, having captained Argentina to the Qatar 2022 title. Kylian Mbappé, who scored a hat-trick in the final, is the other marquee name and the biggest autograph draw. Neymar Jr., João Félix, Jude Bellingham, Pedri, Gavi and Cody Gakpo round out the list of most-wanted cards.
