Description

The magazine shown in the photo is an original issue of France Football, dated Tuesday, September 9, 1997. The cover features a French national team player in action, with the main headline "Jacquet warns Les Bleus". The dark background makes the national team's blue jersey, adorned with the number 9 and the Adidas logo, as well as the French Football Federation emblem, stand out.

The top of the cover displays the France Football logo in white on a red background, immediately recognizable and emblematic of French sports press in the 90s. On the right, the precise publication date is visible: Tuesday, September 9, 1997, as well as the price at the time: 12 F (French francs).

Several editorial boxes are present: "Le Championnat des Étoiles", "Le grand départ!", and a highlight of the Division 1 championship with the mention "Bastia fait de la résistance" (Bastia resists) in a yellow banner at the bottom of the page. Other topics are briefly mentioned, notably the preparation for the 1998 World Cup and the French national team led by Aimé Jacquet.

The magazine features color printing, typical of specialized press of this period. The spine and back are not visible in this photo, but the cover shows sharp corners, with no apparent tears or creases on the displayed side. The barcode is visible at the bottom right, confirming the authenticity of the copy.
