Football: The Impossible Collection Book

The Football: The Impossible Collection distills the sport into 100 defining cultural moments, guided by Rory Smith, football correspondent for The New York Times. Its hardcover is rendered in bold field-green with a three-dimensional football at its center, housed in a sculptural rubber-like clamshell case. The volume moves chronologically through football's history, spanning borders, genders, and leagues from Pelé's arrival on American soil to Messi's 2022 World Cup coronation.
