Abstract
No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the World Cup. Even since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige. Today, the World holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated audience of over 37 billion people watched the 98 France tournament, including approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French stadia. After all these years and so many changes, however the main focus of the World remains the same - the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's ambition. Football World Cup is a unique book, which will be kept for generations as a momento of the 2006 World and all previous World Cups. The book includes all statistics from every event, player profiles, venues, match schedules and timetables and every bit of information you would wish to know about the event. A classic memento - the book is in the shape of a football with the covers designed to feel like a football using quilted vinyl material.
