1986 World Cup

Hi

This item recently finished on EBay, does anyone have any info on this? I’ve never come across it before. Just wondering if it’s an official release or a bit like other tournaments where several programmes were produced as the copyright wasn’t centralised. Thanks

Looks like some locally produced unofficial magazine - there was an official programme, widely available in Spanish and English

From the pictures there is no "official" content, just some pages on previous World Cups, the venues, a schedule and one page on each of the teams. The back page is missing a couple of flags and has the Union Flag rather than Cross of St George, both pretty clear indicators that this was a local knock-off

All in all, calling it a programme (and calling it rare + asking £149.99) seems a but hopeful

Thanks. I was offered it for £100 (didn’t buy it) but see it may have been sold, so I am guessing if it has it’s gone for £100. Yeah I have the two more widely available 86 programmes. There are also a bunch of “pique” official programmes with the mascot on the front cover, one of which was produced for Mexico itself. So feels unlikely this is an official release in Mexico

It was my programme and is rare as listed. It sold for £125 and is on its way to Russia,
