Only A Game?

Saturday, October 11, 2008 - Sunday, March 01, 2009

A spectacular UEFA football exhibition is coming to World Museum Liverpool. From the classic era of the 1950s to the modern age of global superstars, Europe’s love affair with the beautiful game will be explored in this not-to-be-missed exhibition.

European culture will be examined from a footballing perspective. Topics such as solidarity, success, participation, celebration, racism and integration will all be tackled. 

See player memorabilia from the National Football Museum - the shirts, medals and trophies of great European players such as Phil Neal, George Best, Ferenc Puskas, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Moore, Stanley Matthews and Petr Cech. Discover the city’s own part in this European tale and see key items from the Everton Collection and from the Liverpool FC Museum. Stand amazed in the presence of glorious UEFA trophies - the Champions League trophy and UEFA Cup.

Have a ball with our interactive displays. Mix your own football highlights into a video clip and set it to a soundtrack, or rise to the challenge with our multimedia quiz.

Players and managers, legends and fans, friends and foes - we’re all part of the extended European family of football being celebrated at World Museum Liverpool. Only a Game? You decide!

Only a Game? is a collaborative project between UEFA, The National Football Museum, The North West Development Agency and National Museums Liverpool and is UEFA’s contribution to Liverpool 08.
