In 2017 tournament was held in Uruguay called Nations Cup.
A newspaper dedicated to this tournament was published, 16 pages entirely devoted to this tournament.
Team lineups, story about the participants of cup ...

Unfortunately I dont know if I can count this newspaper as a program.
I know that in Portugal for example Benfica also publishes newspapers for matches. It is interesting to hear the opinion of football collectors on this topic ...
