Description

This magazine, visible in the photo, is an original copy of "France Football", dated September 17, 1996 (No. 2632), recognizable by its emblematic cover illustrating Zinedine Zidane in his Juventus Turin kit. The magazine prominently displays the headline "Le nouveau Zidane" (The new Zidane), accompanied by a dynamic portrait of the player wearing the black and white striped jersey, emblazoned with SONY and Kappa, typical of 90s football aesthetics. In the upper right corner, a yellow banner reads "Télé : Le Graët ferme sur les prix" (TV: Le Graët firm on prices), while in the lower left, a box highlights the article "Ricardo-Bats : comment ça marche" (Ricardo-Bats: how it works). The "France Football" logo appears at the top, in its classic red and white font.

The cover presents a clear visual, with a dominant red on the borders, contrasting with the central photograph. On the left, a vignette shows two coaches in sportswear, with the mention "Photo Daniel BARDOU". The edition is clearly identified by its barcode, the mention "12F" (period price), and the complete reference at the bottom of the page (ISSN, number, date, etc.).

The magazine is presented closed, only the front cover is visible. On the lower part, some signs of wear are visible: creases, crumpling, and a small missing piece in the center of the lower edge, typical of a period copy that has been handled but preserved. The cover colors remain well contrasted, with no major apparent discoloration.

The graphic style, layout, and logos perfectly match French sports press from the mid-1990s. This issue is particularly notable for its front page dedicated to Zidane, at a pivotal point in his career, during his transfer and his debut at Juventus.

This is a paper magazine, in the standard format of French weekly sports press, with no precise indication of pagination or thickness in the photo. No other internal content is visible or described here.
