France, being the
host country, issued a large
number of stamps on 1998 World Cup. It is interesting to note that France unveiled its
first stamp of 1998 World Cup long back in 1995 announcing the news of hosting the 1998
World Cup Games. In 1997 France released a series of 12 stamps on the ten cities around
France which are to host the 16th World Cup Football in 1998, thus enabling Philately to
play an active role in the preparations for the largest sporting event ever staged in
France. The other stamps issued by France in connection with 1998 World Cup Football are
unique in nature. They are round shaped like football with mascot of the game and the logo
of the 1998 World Cup Football - the sunball rising on the horizon at the dawn of a new
millennium which is the logo for the 1998 global championship.
