Grainy television footage of Zico’s genius, Tardelli’s emotion, and Algeria’s unlikely triumph over eventual finalists West Germany will go down as some of the most famous images associated with the 1982 World Cup. Lesser-remembered pictures, but similarly emblematic of that enchanting summer in Spain, are the tournament’s official posters.
The 1982 World Cup’s thrilling encounters were played in 14 cities across Spain, and each of these locales was awarded its own poster. The remarkable breadth of style and imagery capture the essence of the country’s artistic heritage and football culture, and are a fitting tribute to a tournament that enthralled, impressed, and surprised like few others have.
