Why do billions of people worldwide stop everything to watch 22 players chase a ball?
This vibrant graphic encyclopaedia takes young readers aged 6 and up on an exhilarating journey through the complete world of football from its ancient roots to today’s billion-dollar global industry.
Through the witty voices of animated characters — Mr Ball (the original 1863 rulebook), a gold coin explaining transfer fees, a clock narrating football’s first radio broadcast — readers discover how the game evolved from Chinese cuju and Greek episkyros to the tactical revolutions and legends of the modern era.
Topics covered include the birth of the rules, iconic formations from the Pyramid to Total Football, club crests, FIFA, and UEFA structures, the Champions League, the World Cup, and its mascots, and profiles of Pelé, Lev Yashin, and Johan Cruyff.

The comic format bridges the text-density gap. Every concept is delivered through panels, characters, and visual gags. The same rigorously verified content European librarians and parents trust, in the visual format their children already love.
Football is the world’s most universal subject. With 5 billion fans globally, football needs no cultural introduction in any market. The book’s scope is genuinely international.
Fact-checked authority and award-quality illustration. Like all "A Walk Through History” titles, the content was reviewed by subject-area specialists, providing the accuracy parents and educators rely on.
