Description

This magazine is an original copy of "France Football", dated Tuesday, July 8, 1997. The cover features a player in an orange jacket, sitting in a boat with a typical port city landscape of Marseille in the background. The main title, "Marseille en fièvre" (Marseille in a frenzy), takes up a large part of the cover, accompanied by several secondary taglines such as "Anderson: Le chant du départ ?" (Anderson: The farewell song?) and "DOCUMENT. Le calendrier 1997-98 du National" (DOCUMENT. The 1997-98 National calendar) in a yellow banner at the bottom of the page.

The front page is characterized by a graphic design typical of the late 1990s, with its massive typography and vibrant colors (red, white, yellow). The "France Football" logo is perfectly visible at the top, on a red background, highlighting the authenticity of this issue. The original price of 12 F (francs) is printed at the top right.

The general condition visible in the photo shows a flexible cover with some common signs of wear, including handling marks on the corners and a slight deformation on the lower right part, with no apparent tears. The photo suggests a good overall preservation of the visual, with the colors remaining vibrant, without major fading.

This vintage magazine brings together several notable sections from that period: news on European football, world youth football, and notably the 1997-98 National calendar, mentioned as an exclusive document. Topics on Anderson, PSG, Argentina, and Arsenal are also discernible. The editorial presentation is typical of French sports publications of the period, both informative and oriented towards the major events of the season.

The visible spine shows a classic stapled binding for weekly magazines of this type, with no visible structural defect on the front. No other major defect is observable on the displayed cover.

This issue is for anyone looking for a period item on French football, or wishing to relive the sports and media atmosphere of the late 1990s.
