Jose Luis Am said: "I am delighted to win this competition. I truly believe that art and football can allow you to dream, so being able to combine the two and show that through this competition was really special to me."
Colin Smith, FIFA Chief Operating Officer – World Cup, said: "Congratulations to Jose Luis Am. We look forward to seeing him at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. We were inspired by so many fantastic fan artists, with congratulations also due to all 16 finalists. I'd like to thank our team of creators, themselves emerging artists who had the opportunity to showcase their artwork on the tour to our global audience of millions. Most of all, this campaign was by the fans, and for the fans: there is nothing like a FIFA World Cup to get football fans and entire nations dreaming. We are delighted to give the whole world a platform to imagine, illustrate and share those dreams, through the power of fan art. We can't wait to see which dreams come true on Sunday, 18 December."
