FOOTDISTRICT X ADIDAS LOS ANGELES

A visual portrait for Footdistrict during the presentation of the Away kits for adidas national teams ahead of the FIFA World Cup, in Los Angeles, California. Documented by Pablo Alzaga.

“Pablo Alzaga is a photographer who understands sport from every angle, an observer of both the game and the architecture surrounding football, an intuitive trend researcher, and the founder of Matinal, a studio that reveals how football exists across multiple cultural fields.

Matinal should be a football team, but it is something more. Much more. Matinal FC emerges from football, but what sets it apart is everything that happens before and after the game, the universe it builds around it. A world often perceived as separate from football, or at least from the way we used to understand it.”
