AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage magazine is an original copy of "France Football", published on August 6, 1996. The cover features an Olympique de Marseille player in action, wearing the 1996-1997 home jersey with the Parmalat and Adidas logos. The main title, "Ouverture royale" (Royal Opening), announces the OM-Lyon match, marking Marseille's return to Division 1. This issue is a collector's edition, particularly sought after by vintage football enthusiasts and OM fans.

The graphic design is typical of the mid-90s, with bright red lettering for the "Football" title and a dynamic layout. A yellow circular insert at the top right announces a special feature "Pain le Girondin". The information banner at the bottom of the cover details the publication date, issue number (N° 6268), original price (12F), and ISSN 0015-9557.

The magazine has a red-dominated soft cover, with color photographs and French texts. Overall, it offers a faithful glimpse into the editorial aesthetic of France Football at that time, both in print quality and in its coverage of national football news.

The format is that of a classic magazine, with stapled binding visible on the spine. The corners show slight wear, particularly at the bottom right where the paper is marked, which is consistent with a press item preserved for over 25 years.

The visual and editorial elements, such as the logos, jersey, typography, and colors, authenticate this issue as a representative piece of French sports press from the 1990s.

Condition

Used magazine, visible signs of wear on the cover (creases, crumpled corners, usage marks). The interior is not visible in the photo, but the cover suggests an overall good condition for a paper magazine from this era. Sold as is.
