in East Africa, to celebrate the Championships
1998 French Football World Cup. It consists of
nine stamps worth 250.00 Ugandan Shillings
each. The one in the top left corner is dedicated
to Paolo Rossi in a blue jersey, depicted during the
1982 Spanish World Cup Final. The frame

narrower view. Compared to other specimens reproducing the
same game action, the framing is oriented in the
correct direction and not to the "negative". The sheet is
dedicated to the greatest scorers of the World Cup and,
in addition to the champion from Prato, the stamps that
composing it are dedicated to Mario Kempes, Gerd Muller,
Grzegorz Lato, Ademir, Eusebio, Salvatore Schillaci,
