Welcome to our latest e-newsletter – programme forum version.
Following last month’s controversial draw in Montenegro, England secured automatic qualification for next summer’s Euro 2012 tournament in Poland/Ukraine. The game in Podgorica saw a print run of just 500 (five hundred) and what is left of our supply is fast running out!

Home friendlies with Spain and Sweden take place on Saturday and next Tuesday respectively and as well as these, we are also selling a complete set of England’s Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. Even if you have some/all of these the set does make an ideal Christmas present for a fellow England fan/collector!

If 500 was a low print run in Montenegro, Scotland’s visit to Alicante saw the Spanish FA produce just 100 copies of their ‘dossier’ for distribution to press only. To meet demand from our Scottish clients we have reproduced a further supply (clearly marked as a reprint) and these are now available at www.footballprogrammes.com/onlineshop

The FIFA Club World Cup returns to Japan in December and the organising committee have confirmed that there will be both a tournament brochure and final match programme. These will be uploaded to the site shortly as soon as prices have been confirmed.
