FIFA WORLD CUP WINNERS IN STICKERS

Inaugural FIFA World Cup was played back in 1930 in Uruguay. Host nation was the first winner, and of course, won its first WC title. Jules Rimet was FIFA president back then and came up with this idea. Over the years, the competition format has changed. From the participating teams to the competition system. 

First edition had a group stage with knockout stage. Next two editions saw only knockout stage system. The 1950 edition had a group stage where winners formed a final group stage. In some editions of the tournament we have first and second group stages. From 1986 we have a system the same as today. Group stage matches then knock-out stages.
The FIFA World Cup tournament was interrupted during the II World war.

Here you can see collages of all World cup winners. "Stickers" from 1930 to 1962 and 1970 are made like Panini did in their first ever WC album in 1970. 1974, 1978, 1982 and 1986 stickers are just like Panini's from those years. All the player pictures are found on the internet. All of these, let say, stickers are not original, just my hand work.
