World Cup Sculpture, Bronze sculpture in Newham, England.
The World Cup Sculpture is a bronze work of art in Newham positioned at the junction of Barking Road and Green Street, standing approximately 5 meters high. It depicts football players celebrating their victory and weighs around four tonnes.
The artwork was commissioned in 2003 by West Ham United and Newham Council and later officially unveiled by Prince Andrew. It commemorates England's football success in 1966 and the players connected to that achievement.
The bronze figures show Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters, three West Ham players who shaped England's World Cup success. The portrayal captures a moment of joy that holds special meaning for the local community and football fans.
The sculpture stands at a central intersection and is easily reached on foot, particularly when arriving from the nearby Upton Park station. The area offers multiple transport connections and is accessible during most times of day.
The artwork is based on photographs taken during a twelve-second period immediately following the 1966 final. This brief span of time was chosen to capture a genuine moment of joy and triumph.
