Panini World Cup - USA 94

The 15th edition of the FIFA World Cup was hosted for the first time in USA. The competition was played at nine venues, with 24 teams divided in six group. Brazil and Italy reached the final, with the Seleçao winning the game at penalties. 

Panini released a sticker collection of 444 stickers (International version), which starts with the usual section of cities and venues. Here we find six stickers of cities and the nine stadium stickers with the program of the competition. The 24 teams are divided following the group order. Each team has 19 stickers (metallic badge, team photo, and 17 players) on two pages, except three teams (Nigeria, Bolivia, and Saudi Arabia) that have only 10 stickers (metallic badge, team photo, and 8 stickers including a total of 16 players).
