Here are some suggestions of suitable photographs:
Pictures of people playing football in traditional national costumes, or playing in front of an architectural monument or landscape characteristic of their region: Buddhist monks playing in front of a temple, European children playing football with a medieval cathedral in the background, Brazilians playing beach soccer in Ipanema, people from the Arctic Circle playing in the snow….
Ancient or new sports relating to street football: Italian historical Calcio, Hacky Sack or Footbag, Sepak Takraw or Chinlone in southeast Asia, Kemari japanese game, freestyle….
The practice of football in difficult conditions: Disabled players, armed conflicts, refugees, people of different ethnicities or religions united by football, the struggle for equal rights for women in football practice, global warming…
These are just some suggestions, but the only limit is your own imagination….
