TIFO:The Art of Football Fan Stickers
Football’s most honest stories aren’t told in stadiums, they are stuck to walls, signs and shutters across Europe.
“In almost 250 colourful and vibrant pages, it showcases stunning sticker art from passionate supporters of renowned clubs across Europe. These are not your Panini stickers by a long chalk — they communicate with humour and share stories, encapsulating the essence of fan culture in all its diversity and enriching football fandom… The authors have done the topic justice.”

A lone PSG sticker on a North‑London street sign; the towering Maradona mural that watches over Naples. Europe’s fan‑made canvases tell football’s biggest stories. Timed perfectly for World‑Cup fever, Tifo: The Art of Football Fan Stickers, Revised & Expanded presents 500 + images from 100 + clubs, printed on premium matte‑art stock and paperback.
Stickerbomb founders Suridh Hassan and Ryo Sanada spent more than three years tracking down these graphics and the tales behind them: the unlikely bond between Boavista and Aberdeen, St Pauli’s anti‑fascist iconography, Sevilla’s surprising love affair with Karl Marx, and how Parma became entangled in Europe’s biggest bankruptcy scandal. Insightful essays by award‑winning journalist James Montague and Design Museum curator Eleanor Watson deepen the cultural and historical context.
Equal parts visual archive and behind‑the‑scenes anecdote, Tifo is the ultimate gift for ground‑hoppers, quiz‑night champions, and anyone who bleeds club colours.

The PSG spread from the new Tifo book. We found that PSG stickers are often circular in design and found across many major cities in northern Europe.
Arsenal fan stickers come in many shapes and forms in the streets (and pub toilets) of north London. They often celebrate past and present players.
