Manchester City World Cup Posters

Ben was commissioned by Manchester City FC to create a series of nine posters celebrating the club's players representing their countries at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The campaign featured Erling Haaland, Tijjani Reijnders, Rodrigo, Jérémy Doku, Ruben Dias, Joško Gvardiol, Nico O'Reilly, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki, with the posters displayed as wild postings in the streets of the cities that would be hosting games.

Inspired by the layered gig posters found around Manchester's Northern Quarter, Ben developed a mixed media approach with ripped textures and lettering, combining handmade elements with digital composition for print.

The finished posters deliberately retained their rough edges and imperfections, reflecting the energy of the streets where they were designed to be seen.
