Introducing FMG Stadium Waikato’s FIFA Eco Bags
FMG Stadium Waikato has launched a unique and sustainable upcycling project celebrating football history. The initiative repurposes the vibrant banners that once dressed Hamilton, Kirikiriroa during the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ tournament, into limited-edition bags. This innovative upcycling project not only offers a stylish and sustainable accessory but also contributes to a greater cause.
FMG Stadium Waikato has collaborated with DEFENDERBAGS which donates their profits to SpinningTop, a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing essential support and opportunities for migrant children in need.
These limited-edition bags serve as a tangible connection to the excitement and energy of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ tournament, while also bringing a touch of sporting history to everyday life. Each bag is a testament to the power of upcycling and the potential to create positive change through collaboration.
Purchase a piece of football history, make a difference, and join FMG Stadium Waikato in championing sustainability one recycled banner at a time.
FMG Stadium Waikato’s FIFA Eco Bags are available to purchase at the Hamilton Gardens and Waikato Museum, but only while stocks last.

FMG Stadium Waikato is owned and managed by H3, a business unit within Hamilton City Council.
