The brand-new short film from Topps was created by After Party Studios

Manchester United’s midfield maestro Kobbie Mainoo brought unexpected joy to three young superfans in a brand-new short film from Topps, created by After Party Studios. In a thrilling collaboration with Match Attax, the beloved football trading card game by Topps, the England midfielder surprised unsuspecting supporters with a memorable in-person appearance, turning an ordinary day into a dream come true.

Popular content creator and presenter Billy Wingrove became shopkeeper for the day at a Manchester-based newsagent, where three lucky fans were invited to collect a prize after being informed that they’d won a card collecting competition. As each parent and child entered the shop, they discussed their growing Match Attax UCC 24/25 Collections (UEFA Club Competition) and favourite Manchester United players, with Kobbie’s name frequently topping the list.

The surprise reached its crescendo as Billy pretended to fetch their reward as Kobbie emerged from a storeroom, clutching a Match Attax gift box that left the young fans wide-eyed with shock. Their disbelief quickly turned to joy as they realised this wasn’t just about the 100 packs they had been promised, with Kobbie personally handing out signed Match Attax cards featuring himself—a prized collectible that instantly turned the encounter into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Kobbie Mainoo, Manchester United and Topps ambassador, said, “Meeting these young fans was an unbelievable moment, seeing their faces light up as we surprised them was really special. Growing up, I loved collecting Match Attax cards and trading with my friends at school, so being part of this alongside Billy was something really special. Seeing their raw passion for football and the excitement these cards bring reminds me of why I love the game.”

Ian Foster, marketing and digital content director, added, “This content encapsulates what Match Attax is all about – bringing fans closer to their football heroes. Kobbie’s surprise appearance created an unforgettable memory for these superfans and we were delighted to bring it to life. With innovative new inserts for the 2024/25 season, including some incredible ultra-rare cards to chase in special packs, Topps is looking forward to delivering more exciting moments like this to enhance the experience of our collectors.”

Fans can collect the world’s biggest superstars such as Kobbie Mainoo, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane with the new Match Attax UCC 24/25 collection, featuring all the top teams and players from this season’s UEFA Club Competitions: UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League. The cards are a must-have for any young football fan or budding collector, featuring superior designs and finishes alongside brand-new deluxe Relic Cards, Genuine Autograph Cards, limited edition must-haves and exclusive rarities.

Exciting new content, updates and subsets will be unveiled throughout the new season, with Topps rolling out a jam-packed Match Attax campaign that will feature some of the biggest names in football, epic trading card events, and must-see videos to inspire and fuel a passion for collectibles.
