Zaire year 1982 Football World Cup Espana Complete complete set MNH stamps

The Zaire 1982 Football World Cup Espana stamp set was issued to commemorate the 1982 FIFA World Cup tournament hosted by Spain.

This is a thematic stamp set that typically includes multiple individual stamps and often a souvenir sheet. The visual motifs focus on the universal theme of football and the specific details of the 1982 tournament:

• The Official Mascot: The stamps often feature Naranjito, the official mascot of the 1982 World Cup, which was an anthropomorphized orange (a typical Spanish fruit) wearing the national football kit.
• Action Shots: Illustrations or photos of football players in dynamic action, such as kicking the ball, tackling, or attempting to score.
• The World Cup Trophy: The famous FIFA World Cup trophy is a common element on the higher-value stamps or the souvenir sheet.
• Branding: The stamps prominently feature the official branding of the event, including the text “España ’82” or “Copa Mundial de Fútbol.”

Like many issues from Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) during this period, the set was primarily created for the international thematic stamp collecting market.
