The album "Fotboll 2000" is a famous collection, as it includes the rookie sticker of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was playing for Malmo in the second division that season (Superettan). He scored 12 goals and the club was promoted to the main division (Allsvenskan) with a second place behind Djurgardens. In the Allsvenskan, Halmstads won the title with 52 points, ahead of Helsingborgs and AIK. Berglund (Elfsborg) was the top scorer of the season with 18 goals.
Fotboll 2000 is the seventh Panini album of the Swedish football (after the years 1986, 1987, 1991, 1993, 1995, and 1999) and also the last so far. It opens with an introductory page including the table of contents and two metallic stickers: the trophy of the league and the winners 1999 (Helsingborgs). Then the 14 clubs of Allsvenskan are shown in alphabetical order. For each club there are 16 stickers: the metallic badge, the team photo and 14 players. For the second league, only the main two clubs are included (Djurgardens and Malmo) with 14 stickers each (badge, team, and 12 players).
In the center of the album, there is a section of 18 metallic stickers on four pages dedicated to Swedish players in Europe. Among them, we can mention Patrik Andersson (Bayern Munchen) and Henrik Larsson (Celtic).
