1994
Kellogg's World Cup Cards
Kellogg's
Arabian Gulf
16 cards
I don't know anything about this set of cards, does anyone recognize this packet with wording in English and Arabic? I'm not sure where they were issued but my guess is somewhere in the region of the Arabian Gulf.
UPDATE (08-03-2025 12:08): Ernesto has confirmed that these were 'pop-up' cards, similar to ones issued elsewhere by Kellogg's. He has also been able to provide the names of three of the players featured in the set.
UPDATE (20-09-2026 17:33): fbgenius has provided details about 10 of the cards thanks to links in his comment below. There are a number of small photos on the backs of each of the cards but this collection doesn't really feature players. The cards all show team photos of the featured countries. Uruguay are included but they didn't qualify for the Finals.
Belgium
France - did not qualify
Germany
Greece
Ireland
Italy
Mexico
Norway
Russia
Sweden
Uruguay - did not qualify

Do they have any player cards in it. Like pull up ones.
ReplyDeleteIt's possible, but I still don't know anything about this item.
DeleteYes there were player cards. I myself had a three - Batistuta, Donadoni and Baggio. Unfortunately I ve lost a three. Or rather it all got destroyed over the years. I regret it to this day. I guess there were more. We got it with corn flakes. I believe these pull up cards were different from other regions and were exclusive pull ups to the middle East region.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ernesto, I'll add the information you have provided.
DeleteI believe I have a complete set if anyone is interested. Got them while stationed in Kuwait out of the cereal boxes.
ReplyDeleteYou do. That's great. Could you pls send some pics and respective prices to my email catalanragelefty@gmail.com
DeleteI have a set of 10 out of 16 cards from this set. Here are some images https://imgur.com/a/DHy4Aq8
ReplyDeleteThey have stats about the country in English and Arabic. There is no player info as the other person mentioned.
Thanks for the link, I can't access it in the UK. Some sort of IMGUR restriction.
