Europe in 2019, America in 2020, Asia in 2021, Africa in 2022 and in 2023 we will have an issue dedicated to Australia. Each block contains 6 stamps with the image of a sport, the background for the stamps is the color outline of the continent. The choice of sports disciplines was mainly made in connection with the various competitions that took place in these years in the countries of the selected region. The round block is a kind of map of the world, a visual embodiment of the idea that sport unites the whole world.
