Manchester is a city famous for its football aura and is worth visiting to see a Manchester United or Manchester City game. The atmosphere created in their stadiums is unique.
However, a unique experience is also your visit to the National Football Museum located in the Urbis building at Todd St, Manchester M4 3BG, United Kingdom.
It is one of the most important football museums in the world with unique and rare collections of memorabilia about the sport.
What can you see up close?
The first football rule book from 1863 is located there! You will also have the opportunity to see replicas trophies of the FA Cup and the Premier League up close, rare jerseys of top football personalities (Maradona, etc.), objects that will take you back in time and various rooms that exclusively concern the history of the England National Team for men and women.
In a prominent position is the ball from the 1966 World Cup final, in which England was crowned world champion, and the 1930 World Cup ball!
There are rare pieces from the old Wembley in London, such as seats and turnstiles, ticket stubs and match schedules, posters, jerseys, shoes, balls and many more exhibits that will give you the opportunity to take a look back at the rich history of football and especially England!
