In 1994, San Marino issued a set of stamps commemorating the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which was held in the United States. The set consisted of four stamps featuring different aspects of the tournament and football in general.
The stamps in the set are as follows:
- 500 Lire stamp: This stamp features a football player in action, with the American flag in the background. The text “World Cup USA ’94” is printed on the stamp.
- 600 Lire stamp: The stamp depicts a goalkeeper making a save, with the World Cup trophy in the background. The text “World Cup USA ’94” is printed on the stamp.
- 750 Lire stamp: This stamp features a football match in progress, with the skyline of an American city in the background. The text “World Cup USA ’94” is printed on the stamp.
- 2500 Lire stamp: The stamp depicts the World Cup trophy along with the flags of the participating nations. The text “World Cup USA ’94” is printed on the stamp.
All four stamps were designed by Italian artist Giorgio Borghesani and were printed using the offset lithography method.
These stamps are popular among football enthusiasts and collectors of sports-related memorabilia. They are also sought after by collectors of San Marino stamps and those interested in the history of the FIFA World Cup.
The 1994 FIFA World Cup was notable for several reasons: it was the first World Cup hosted by the United States, Brazil won the tournament for a record fourth time, and it featured the introduction of the “Golden Goal” rule in the knockout stages.
