He, who lives in São José do Rio Preto (SP), maintained the tradition by encouraging his four-year-old son to participate in the collection now in 2026. 📲 Join the g1 Rio Preto and Araçatuba channel on WhatsApp In an interview with g1, Felipe said that, since the last title won by the Brazilian team, he made all the albums for the tournament. With nine complete editions in the collection, he has a special affection for sporting competition. "I remember that, in 2002, I was 12 years old and coming from the 1998 World Cup. That thing where the guys got together, like the country stopped, that encouraged me to put together the album", revealed the coach.

"This is the first World Cup with 48 teams, so it already brings that difference. However, it also brings an increase in value due to more stickers."

The little one discovered his love for stickers with his father. "He's really enjoying it, he loves opening the little packages. When something from Brazil or something shiny comes out, he's super happy," said his father. On June 4th, Félix had his first experience, participating with Felipe in a meeting to exchange stickers near a newsstand on Avenida Bady Bassit, in São José do Rio Preto. "It was the first time he went. He really enjoyed exchanging with the people, he was very happy", said his father.

Experienced, the collector calculated that he has already spent around R$700 this year.
