These World Cup beer mats are funny, functional and for charity too

Oh, and they look fantastic.

Only one team can win this year’s World Cup, so it’s likely you’ll need a beer mat to slam your drink on to in disgrace when your side inevitably crashes out to someone better.

And if you’re watching in a London pub, there’s a chance that beer mat might be one of these artful efforts from Weird World Cup.

The designs from a number of leading illustrators and creatives celebrate moments from the World Cup, and the beer mats will be distributed around London and sold online to raise money for Football Beyond Borders, an education charity which uses football as an engagement tool to help young people.

Specifically, the money will go towards FBB’s fundraising for a new multi-purpose space in Brixton, which will be used as a main office, a learning hub and a safe haven for disadvantaged young people in London.
