To commemorate the fifth edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, China Post has issued a special 1,20 Yuan postage stamp. The stamp was unveiled at the Shanghai Hongkou Stadium with, amongst municipal, organising committee and federation delegates, retired Chinese star Sun Wen in attendance.
“It is a great honour that the China Post today released this special stamp to commemorate the FIFA Women’s World Cup returning to its cradle as it’s maiden edition took place here in China back in 1991. Football-related stamps have been much sought-after collectors’ items for decades. I would like to thank China Post and the designer Wang Hong for this great visual element and their commitment to women’s football,” said Wowari Makudi, chairman of the Committee for Women’s Football and the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
