I was quite excited about visiting Football Fever! at Singapore Philatelic Museum ever since I heard they were going to curate it.
This is not the first time that SPM has hosted a World Cup Exhibition, as I do recall they hosted a similar exhibition in 2006.
I personally enjoyed how the exhibition was presented.
Lots of stuff to keep kids entertained, not least the fooseball table
It was quite funny to see an entry with Emperor Kangxi.
I identified most with this panel…
…and here’s why.
Much of my excitement about visiting the exhibition was due the fact that they decided to display replica shirts and most of them would be used in the 2010 edition of the World Cup. I had suggested that SPM get in touch with my regular football shirt supplier, Weston Corporation, and I’m glad that they managed to get Weston to sponsor shirts that definitely enhances the presentation of the exhibition. It was a joy to behold the shirts as I collect sportswear myself.

Spotted the odd team out?
Mishelle Lim, curator of this exhibition went beyond simply acquiring replica football shirts for this exhibition. She managed to source for memorabilia of World Cup icons, namely Pele and Maradona!

The wealth of World Cup artefacts doesn’t stop here. England fans may also be interested in checking out autographed photos by Gordon Banks, Geoff Hurst and the 1966 England away shirt.
