Relive the best moments of football through a luxurious and comprehensive historical overview of the World Cup institution. From the first World Championship, which took place in Uruguay in 1930, to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, readers have the opportunity to follow the authoritative account of each of the seventeen tournaments, the most spectacular moments of football superstars, and the unforgettable phases that occurred each time in the finals, combined with maps of the meeting places and score tables.

The elite of football parades, the triumphs of Pelé, Garrincha, Maradona, Rossi, and Platini. Over thirty inserts with rare material are incorporated into the pages of the book: football match programs, match tickets, posters, stickers, postcards, and correspondence items, which until today have been archived or exhibited at the National Football Museum in Preston and in private collections around the world. Several of these items are seeing the light of day for the first time.
