Football is comprehensively represented in Russian art. Not only did artists and sculptors depict scenes from a game but also elements of outfit, fans and stadiums.

In the 20th century, the principles of portrayal a human were connected with the concept of a harmonious man and patriotic upbringing. The ideas of conquering space and time and the task of training a physically developed man were pivotal in painting.

The postage stamps feature the paintings Football (1926) by Yuri Pimenov;
Football (1928) by Aleksandr Deyneka; Football Player (1953) bas-relief in Moscow Metro by Elena Yanson-Manizer; monument to Vsevolod Bobrov, a football player (2002), by Anatoly Dyoma and Sergey Mikhailov, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup RussiaTM Official Marks.
