Francesca the Football Fairy (also published as Stacey the Soccer Fairy) is the 58th book in the mainline Rainbow Magic series, and the second in the Sporty Fairies subseries.
While attending a football game, Rachel and Kirsty help Francesca find her missing ball.
Tropes:
- Cultural Translation:
- Football is changed to soccer in US prints, since there, "football" refers to an entirely different sport.
- In the original UK version, a goblin makes a reference to the real-life football team Manchester United. In the US print, this was changed to him musing if either the United States or Brazil will win.
- Dub Name Change: Francesca to Stacey across the pond. Additionally, the Quebecois print renames her Sabrina.
- Nice Guy: Mr. Walker purchases a Tippington scarf for Kirsty.
