⚽ Holly and Benji are back on newsstands: the new 2026 Metal Poster collection

For those who grew up with endless fields, impossible shots, and legendary saves, this is one of those pieces of news that strikes right at the heart. The world of Captain Tsubasa returns as the protagonist with a new exclusive initiative: the 2026 collectible metal plates, distributed with the Corriere dello Sport.

A collection designed to transform nostalgia into something concrete, elegant, and… displayable.

🏆 From anime to design: what makes these plates special

These are not just simple prints, but real collectible metal posters, designed to last over time and enhance any environment.

Each plate:

• celebrates an iconic character or an epic moment

A clear reference to one of the most spectacular techniques in the series, a symbol of:

• team spirit
• determination
• unlimited spectacle

👉 It is precisely this mix that has made Captain Tsubasa a timeless global phenomenon.

📅 The complete release plan (8 issues)

The collection unfolds in 8 weekly issues, each dedicated to a protagonist:
