A fan named Paul Green says his large homemade flag has been flown at eight different FIFA World Cups. According to reports, the banner was first unveiled in Spain in 1982. Green estimates the flag has travelled about 50,000 miles over the years as he brings it to successive tournaments. The coverage highlights the longevity of the fan tradition and the physical consistency of the flag across multiple World Cup events, spanning several decades. While the accounts focus on Green’s personal estimate of the flag’s distance, they agree on the main points: the flag is homemade, it has been used at multiple World Cups, and its first appearance at a tournament was in Spain in 1982. The story is presented as a distinctive example of long-term fan memorabilia and repeat participation in World Cup football, with the same banner remaining in use through successive editions of the competition.
