OverviewTifo reveals Europe's underground football stories through vivid fan-made stickers and graphics, chronicling passions, rivalries, and political alliances across one hundred clubs before World Cup. A lone PSG sticker on a North-London Street sign; the towering Maradona mural that watches over Naples. Europe's fan-made canvases tell football's biggest stories. Timed perfectly for World-Cup fever, Tifo: The Art of Football Fan Stickers-Revised & Expanded presents 500 plus images from over 100 clubs, printed on premium matte-art stock and bound in a linen-wrapped hardback with foil stamping. Stickerbomb founders Suridh Hassan and Ryo Sanada spent more than two years tracking down these graphics and the tales behind them: the unlikely bond between Boavista and Aberdeen, St Pauli's anti-fascist iconography, Sevilla's surprising love affair with Karl Marx, and how Parma became entangled in Europe's biggest bankruptcy scandal. Insightful essays by award-winning journalist James Montague and Design Museum curator Eleanor Watson deepen the cultural and historical context. Equal parts visual archive and behind-the-scenes anecdote, Tifo is the ultimate gift for ground-hoppers, quiz-night champions and anyone who bleeds club colours. AUTHORS: Suridh Hassan and Ryo Sanada are filmmakers, publishers and co-founders of the bestselling Stickerbomb series, a global touchstone for street-art and sticker culture. They have produced two feature-length football documentaries, launched their own imprint Soi Books, and spent the past few years travelling Europe to photograph and catalogue supporter imagery for Tifo. Their work fuses visual storytelling with cultural anthropology, revealing the creativity and politics that thrive on the terraces. SELLING POINTS: .
