Features: Sports are not just about building muscle strength; they are also about intelligence and art. While countries around the world develop their own sports, they consistently integrate them with culture and art, greatly enriching the of sports and broadening their horizons. Football is a world sport, and the World Cup has become a grand festival of world football. For every World Cup, not only the host country but also many non-host countries issue stamps, commemorative posters, and other philatelic items. Today, World Cup philately has become a very important part of Olympic philately and has been widely popularized globally. The quantity and variety of stamps have greatly increased, and their quality has also improved significantly. World Cup stamps are historical witnesses to the world football movement. They have brought football to every corner of the world, greatly promoting its development. On October 7, 2001, at 21:00, at Shenyang Five-Year-River Stadium, the dream of "Breaking out of Asia and Moving Towards the World"—a dream nurtured by generations of Chinese football fans and football enthusiasts for 44 years—finally bloomed with dazzling brilliance that captivated the world! To commemorate the first time the Chinese team qualified for the World Cup, we have planned this "World Cup Showdown" coin and stamp collection album. It includes 16 coins from the host countries of past World Cups, 2 coins from the host countries of the 2002 World Cup, 26 stamps from the host countries of past World Cups as well as from China, South Korea, Japan, etc., 1 commemorative postcard of the Chinese national football team's first successful entry into the World Cup, 1 commemorative postcard of the Chinese football team qualifying for the 2002 World Cup final, 1 commemorative medal of the mascot of the 2002 World Cup, and 1 miniature sheet from North Korea for the 1998 French World Cup. Additionally, we have specially created a football-themed craft decorative piece. The base is made of Xiuyan jade, exquisitely elegant, while the main figure is dynamic, showcasing the static beauty of movement. This collection album is rich in content and precious in value, making it an invaluable collectible for all football enthusiasts, those who follow Chinese football, and anyone interested in the World Cup.
