Sturm Graz 110 Jahre


Sportklub Sturm Graz is an Austrian football club founded in the city of Graz in 1909. The club won three times the Austrian Bundesliga title (1998, 1999,  2011) and five times the Austrian Cup. In Europe, they took part in the Champions League three times and in the Uefa Cup 11 times, reaching the quarter-finals in  1983-84 as the best result. To celebrate 110 years of history, in the fall 2019 the club produced a sticker collection. Album and packets could be bought on the club website. This album is not a proper Panini publication, as there is no sign of Panini on the album. However, the stickers were printed in Modena by Panini, as written on the back of the packets. Behind the cover, the album has a pocket to store the photo of the Sturm Graz squad 2019/2020. The album tells the history of the club and it includes a large section of the season 2019/2020.
