The FIFA World Cup Italy 1934 poster shows a footballer striking a ball, with a diagonal band of participating nations’ flags running across the composition. The Italian text at the bottom reads “Campionati Mondiali di Calcio – Italia,” followed by “Maggio • Giugno • 1934 XII.”

The poster connects the tournament to Italy through its language, the Italian tricolour details and the shield on the player’s shirt. The flags turn the kicking motion into an international image, presenting the World Cup as a meeting of national teams.

Italy 1934 was the second FIFA World Cup and was played from 27 May to 10 June 1934. It was the first edition with qualifying, after the inaugural 1930 tournament in Uruguay had been invitation-based.

The official poster was designed by Italian illustrator Gino Boccasile. The “XII” in the date refers to the Fascist Era calendar then used in Italy, placing the tournament in Year 12 of that system.
