Mexico City, Mexico, May 11, 2026 – Museo Jumex presents Objects of Glory, on view from June 10 through August 30, 2026. Presented in partnership with Qatar Museums and 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum as part of programming under the Qatar Canada and Mexico 2026 Year of Culture, the exhibition brings together some of the most significant objects in the history of the sport, offering the opportunity to explore football’s most defining moments, from its origins in the late nineteenth century to its emergence as a global cultural force.

“We are very pleased to collaborate with the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum and Qatar Museums on Objects of Glory. This partnership allows us to bring an exceptional selection of iconic objects that have shaped the history of football to Mexican audiences, while continuing to expand the ways in which Museo Jumex engages diverse publics through meaningful cultural experiences.” — Eugenio López Alonso, President of Fundación Jumex

“Sport has a unique ability to bring people together through shared emotion and experience. Objects of Glory reflects our commitment to preserving the stories behind football’s most iconic moments while creating new connections between audiences, cultures and communities through the game.” — Abdulla Al Mulla, Director of the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum

Timed to the 2026 World Cup games in Mexico City, the exhibition features historic match balls, legendary boots, iconic jerseys, rare trophies, and archival documents that chart the game’s evolution. Among the highlights are Diego Maradona’s match-worn jersey from the 1986 World Cup quarter-final in Mexico City. Additional highlights include Pelé’s boots from the 1970 World Cup, widely regarded as a defining moment in the global popularization of the sport, and a hand-painted leather football commemorating the 1888 FA Cup Final at the Oval in London.

Objects of Glory is organized as part of Qatar Canada and Mexico 2026 Year of Culture. The exhibition is curated by Najla Al Thani, Curator at the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum.
