On June 10th, the fourth printed issue of Sport in Art magazine will be released, aiming straight at the hearts of football fans. Football is a colossal force that sweeps the world, evoking emotions, love, and madness, so it's no surprise that artists, who often manage to glimpse beneath the surface of this phenomenon, also respond to it. The cover features the artist Vladimir 518. This time, the magazine is also available in a limited edition called Football is for Everyone!, with a cover by Nicola Constantino.
