As the ultimate celebration of the world’s most popular sport, the soccer World Cup is truly the greatest show on Earth. The game of soccer is being played, watched, and loved on every continent and in all cultures, and more than half of our planets’s population watch every four years when the best nations compete in the World Cup. The World Cup Project tells the story of the World Cup, and how the beautiful game has been embraced and transformed by different peoples, nations, and cultures. Beginning with the inaugural tournament in 1930, each piece in the series is portraying one particular World Cup using layers of imagery, diagrams, tables, text, drawing and writing. Each piece captures the essence of each tournament — including its host nation, participating countries, tournament structure, results, key players, popular playing styles, tournament ball, the historical and geopolitical context in which the tournament was held, etc.
