World Cup 2026 brings together a visual history of Arab and Iranian participation on football’s biggest stages. Drawing from photographs, television broadcasts, tickets, match programmes, scoreboards, memorabilia and printed ephemera, it traces moments of ambition, celebration, defeat and collective memory between the 1980s and late 1990s.

Rather than offering a complete history, the book assembles fragments: players on the pitch, supporters in the stands, team portraits, newspaper clippings, commemorative objects that surrounded the game. Together, these materials reflect the presence of Arab nations and Iran in international football, celebrating a journey that continues to resonate across generations.

The material spans World Cup tournaments, qualification campaigns, international friendlies and other major competitions, bringing together images from countries represented at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

SPECIFICS
  • 14 x 22 cm | 5½ × 8⅝ inch
  • Threadless binding
  • 90 pages
 
  • Curator: Romaisa Baddar
  • Supporting research: Abduallah Muhammad
