The First and So far Only time Zeugo did a World Cup Range… Looking at the old catalogues this was the only time they Advertised it as a “World Cup Range”

This range featured boxes with flashy gold emblems for the 2010 tournament, which added a nice touch and uniqueness to the teams…

Although they did make teams for the 2014 World Cup, they just threw them into the regular range without any special packaging, so they don’t count as part of a proper World Cup range.

Unfortunately, Zeugo didn’t seem too interested in the following World Cups, especially in 2018 and 2022, probably because Italy were crap and didn’t even qualify, which dampened the interest or need for them In there Main market Italy although they did add a few teams that had not been represented on the Zeugo Range Such as Morocco although they came after the World Cup.

Subbuteo World went all out with this range selling teams in group sets… These came with special sleeves matching the real-life tournament groups. They even still offer the sleeves for collectors to complete their sets now…

While the Zeugo World Cup Range did give each team a reference number and came in a Special box but the Some of the kits were out of date and not updated for the World Cup (Subbuteo World had to bring out an all white England team to rectify the out of date kit in the official range) To compare this to Soccer 3D, Soccer 3d really nailed it with their 2010 World Cup range with home and away kits present and have been consistently producing great World Cup ranges ever since (Whether Italy qualify or not)

Overall, while the Zeugo World Cup Range may not have been groundbreaking, it’s still a noteworthy moment in the world of table soccer collectibles a notable subsection of Zeugo
