context_page_description: World Soccer is an English-language football magazine published by Kelsey Media. The magazine was established in 1960 and is the oldest continually published football magazine in the United Kingdom. It specialises in the international football scene. Its regular contributing writers include Brian Glanville, Keir Radnedge, Sid Lowe and Tim Vickery. World Soccer is a member of the European Sports Magazines, an umbrella group of similar magazines printed in other languages. The members of this group elect a European "Team of the Month" and a European "Team of the Year".
  Since 1982, World Soccer has also organised "Player of the Year", "Manager of the Year" and "Team of the Year" awards.
  The magazine marked its 60th anniversary in 2020 with a series of articles looking back on the past 60 years in international football.
