Nigel VMU collaborated with The Football Association to create the Cup Culture installation for the 2024/25 Emirates FA Cup Final. This project engaged local communities in Manchester and South London, featuring two six-foot sculptural replicas of the FA Cup trophy. Fans inscribed messages on the sculptures, which connected them to the game. The sculptures were moved to Wembley Stadium on match day, establishing a symbolic link between the communities and the players. Additionally, Nigel VMU designed custom foosball tables reflecting team identities to further engage the public.
Cup Culture installation reshapes culture through design, memory, and community, exploring contemporary football identity and heritage through public engagement.
The project featured two sculptural replicas of the FA Cup trophy, interactive and mobile sculptures enabling fans to inscribe personal messages.
