Our favourite football mag, back on the magCulture shelves! Having resigned themselves to a digital-only future as the pandemic struck, the Mundial team was taken over by online publisher Footballco in 2022 with the express aim of relaunching the print edition. This is their eighth issue since the relaunch last summer, and it's the Kits Special!
On the cover, it's the odyssey of Ruud Gullit, orange-clad football hero from the Netherlands. Then, find a retrospective on Hackney Women's FC – the first openly gay club in Europe – a photoessay of kits on the frontlines, confessions of a bootleg shirt baron, and much more.
