Lvivske Football 2026

Limited-edition design for “Lvivske” 1715, created to mark the 20th anniversary of Ukraine’s most legendary FIFA World Cup campaign in 2006. The key challenge was to create a design that evokes nostalgia and unites Ukrainians around football ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The design needed to capture a specific football story — that match, that summer, that national team — without depicting real players or recognizable locations. After exploring several creative directions, we chose an approach inspired by the visual language of 2006 newspaper graphics. Dynamic, stylized figures in blue and yellow, iconic poses, and the emotions of victory convey the spirit of the moment without referencing any particular individual.

The result is a can that functions both as packaging and as a cultural artifact. Designed in the style of newspaper front pages, featuring the headline “Our G-O-O-O-Goalden Moments” and the signature “Lions of 2006,” it resonates equally with those who watched the matches live and with a younger generation that inherited the story.
