The FIFA World Cup France 1938 poster shows a powerful footballer standing with one foot on a large globe-like ball. The player is drawn in red and black, with a pale blue sweep behind him, while the text reads “FIFA,” “Coupe du Monde” and “France 1938.”
The design presents the World Cup as a global football event, with the player physically placed above the world map. The French-language “Coupe du Monde” title reflects the host country, while the repeated FIFA lettering connects the poster to the tournament’s international governing body.
France 1938 was the third FIFA World Cup and was played from 4 to 19 June 1938. It was the second consecutive edition held in Europe, after Italy 1934, and took place during the tense pre-war period in Europe.
The poster belongs to the early era of World Cup identity, before standardized logos and trophy-shaped emblems became common. Italy won the tournament, defeating Hungary 4–2 in the final in Paris.
