Whether you're looking for a magazine that covers football culture or one that keeps you up to speed on the latest happenings in the game, there is no shortage of football magazines out there.

But which should you be reading? Here, GOAL brings you some of the best football magazines to read right now.

  • MUNDIAL

    MUNDIAL reminds you why you love football.

    Described by Kelly Cates as "the world's most beautiful football magazine", MUNDIAL takes you on a journey through football culture in all its glorious forms, from grassroots astro dreams and classic kits, to cult heroes and raucous away-day capers.

    If you're inclined to carefully chart the chronicles of Paolo Maldini, remember when Zinedine Zidane became a superstar at Bordeaux or worship at the altar of O Fenomeno, MUNDIAL is the magazine for you.

    Released four times a year, MUNDIAL also has a membership club, with loads of perks and goodies for subscribers. Oh and they have a few decent podcasts too, such as GIANT and Reminding You Why You Love Football.
