Tan Viet Books launched an interactive football sticker book set in early May, ahead of the 2026 World Cup. This collection, designed for young readers, aims to provide an engaging way to learn about the sport. The set includes two books: "World's Football Teams" and "World's Famous Football Players". These publications blend sports knowledge with illustrations and diverse stickers, creating a "mini football playground" where children can explore and retain information naturally.
The book "World's Football Teams" features data on 80 leading national teams, based on FIFA rankings. It also presents information on World Cup history, logos for each season, the evolution of the official match ball through different eras, and impressive world football records. This content is presented with visual, easy-to-understand images, allowing young readers to discover which teams have won multiple championships or which countries boast the most passionate fans.

The second book, "World's Famous Football Players", introduces a range of iconic figures. It covers legends like Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, and David Beckham, as well as popular contemporary players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kylian Mbappe. Beyond names and images, the book provides details on their nicknames, characteristic skills, and achievements. It answers questions like "Why is Messi considered a 'grass field magician'?" and "Why is Mbappe expected to dominate future football?"
A highlight of the book set is the accompanying interactive stickers. Each book contains four pages of stickers depicting jerseys, players, national flags, and football symbols, allowing children to freely peel and decorate. This activity not only entertains but also enhances observation skills, memory, and critical thinking.
The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to kick off on 11/6 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, concluding on 19/7 at MetLife in New Jersey. During the tournament, MetLife will be renamed New York New Jersey Stadium. The final's halftime show will feature a joint performance by Shakira, Madonna, and BTS. Shakira released her song "Dai Dai" on 14/5, in support of the world's largest football tournament.
