The official sticker collection of the World Cup 2018 was released worldwide by Panini. The collection has little variations from country to country, mainly concerning some additional McDonald's or Coca-Cola stickers. Only in Switzerland, a special Gold Edition was released with gold framed stickers. The hardcover album of this version was released in a limited edition boxset including 100 sealed packets.
The collection opens with two introductory pages with metallic stickers of the panini logo, the FIFA logo, the trophy, the competion logos and the official ball. In the following four pages we find stickers of the 12 stadiums of the competition and 12 stickers of the posters of the host cities.
The 32 competing teams are then shown following the group order. For each team there are 20 stickers displaced over two pages: the badge (gold metallic sticker), the team photo, and 18 players.
Group A: Russia, Saudi Araia, Egypt, Uruguay
Group B: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran
Group C: France, Australia, Peru, Denmark
Group D: Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria
Group E: Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia
Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea
Group G: Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

At the end of the album there are two sections dedicated to the World Cup legends. The first one celebrates the previous winners (8 stickers) and the history makers Pelé (most wins) and Klose (most goals scored) with one sticker each. The second one is specific for the Gold Edition and it includes 12 stickers of legends that could be found with Coca-Cola bottles. There is one legend sticker for each World Cup edition from 1970 to 2014. Among them Maradona, Maldini and Valderrama.
