Immagine dell'articolo:Historical guide to the 2026 World Cup

Following the tradition begun in 2010, on the opening day of the biggest football tournament between national teams, the Historical Archive publishes the Historical Guide to the 2026 World Cup.

The guide brings together decades of research, statistics, records, and curiosities about the World Cup from a very special perspective: that of a São Paulo supporter. There are more than 260 pages of detailed surveys on Tricolor’s involvement and participation in each edition of the competition. And of course, plenty of rankings!
