LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, May 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 10 x 10 Opus Celebrating Maradona and Pelé

For the first time ever, two monumental Opus editions have been ingeniously fused into one, offering a unique storytelling experience. The Maradona Opus and Pelé The Opus are now re-imagined as one titanic volume called the 10 x 10 OPUS.

Step into the legendary worlds of Pelé and Diego Maradona in one extraordinary tome. This innovative rotary-book design lets you explore the dazzling careers of two football icons from both sides. Turn the pages one way to journey through Pelé’s legendary moments, then flip it over to relive Maradona’s unforgettable triumphs. Together in one highly desirable Opus, celebrate the magic and mastery of these two titans of footballing history.

THE MARADONA OPUS showcases the career of one of football’s true icons, a player whose genius lit up stadiums and inspired millions around the world. From the streets of Buenos Aires to the greatest stages in world football, Maradona’s talent was unmatched. His dazzling dribbles, visionary passing and unforgettable goals set him apart as a legend of the game.

The Foreword for the Opus was contributed by his friend and footballing royalty, Pelé.

PELE THE OPUS celebrates the playing career of the youngest World Cup winner, aged 17 in 1958 he scored 6 goals in the tournament. He became the youngest player to ever score in a World Cup final and still is Brazil’s record goalscorer, scoring 95 goals in 114 games. When Pelé retired from international football, Brazil
was the most successful nation in the history of the competition. Pelé was a three-time World Cup winner – 1958, 1962 and 1970. In both 1958 and 1970 Pelé was arguably the player of the tournament and until today no other player has won the World Cup three times as a player.

The size of the Opus has to be seen to be truly appreciated, weighing over 25kg and with each of the 528 pages measuring a gargantuan 60cm x 43cm.
