Ideal for Readers Who…
- Are obsessed with football and want to know everything about it — World of Football is the complete guide: history, rules, the greatest players of all time, the biggest tournaments including the World Cup, tips for improving your own game, and how to get into football at every level. If your child wants to talk about football all day, this is the book that can keep up with them.
- Are excited about the 2026 World Cup — with the biggest FIFA World Cup in history just around the corner, featuring 48 nations for the first time, World of Football covers tournaments from every angle — how they work, the greatest World Cup moments, the players who defined them. The perfect book to read before the tournament begins.
- Love Marcus Rashford and want more from him — Rashford isn't just one of Europe's most exciting forwards. He's an MBE who lobbied the British Government to change food poverty policy for 1.3 million children. When he writes a book telling kids how to chase their dreams in football, he means it. If you've already read his bestselling You Are a Champion, this is where to go next.
- Are looking for a football gift that's actually brilliant — packed with stats, facts, player profiles, GOATs, skills drills, and Marcus's own tips and tricks, this is the book that ends up read under the duvet with a torch. It works as a birthday gift, a Christmas gift, or a World Cup 2026 gift for any young football fan aged 7 and up.
- Want a book that makes football accessible for kids who are new to the game — not every child who loves watching football yet knows the offside rule or how the Champions League works. World of Football explains everything clearly without talking down to anyone, which is the hardest thing to do in a children's reference book and something Marcus Rashford and Carl Anka do exceptionally well.
- Have a child who wants to play football, not just watch it — alongside the facts and history, Marcus shares his own skills and training tips — the kind of practical advice that sends kids straight outside to try them in the garden. This is the rare football book that works off the pitch as well as on it.
- About The Author
- Marcus Rashford MBE is Manchester United's iconic number 10 and an England International footballer. During the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcus teamed up with the food distribution charity FareShare to cover the free school meal deficit for vulnerable children across the UK, raising in excess of 20 million pounds. Marcus successfully lobbied the British Government to u-turn policy around the free food voucher program - a campaign that has been deemed the quickest turnaround of Government policy in the history of British politics - so that 1.3 million vulnerable children continued to have access to food supplies whilst schools were closed during the pandemic. In response to Marcus's End Child Food Poverty campaign, the British Government committed £400 million to support vulnerable children across the UK, supporting 1.7 million children for the next 12 months. In October 2020, he was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Marcus has committed himself to combating child poverty in the UK and his book You Are a Champion is an inspiring guide for children about reaching their full potential. He is the author of the beloved The Breakfast Club Adventures series.
