Panini Foot 2020

Foot 2020 is the 45th album of the French league published by Panini. For the second consecutive year also an hardcover version of the album was released in a collector box containing the album and 35 packets. The collection includes some interesting new prospects, like Aouar (Lyon), Camavinga (Rennes) and Oshimen (Lille), togheter with big names, especially in PSG (MBappé, Icardi, Neymar, Di Maria). In March 2021 after the suspension and cancellation of the tournament, PSG were awarded the Ligue 1 title. MBappé and Ben Yedder were the best scorers of the league with 18 goals.

The sticker collection begins with an introductory page including the contents and two metallic stickers: the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 trophies. In the following two pages, there is a section about referees and the new rules of the game with a total of 10 stickers. Then the 20 competing clubs of the Ligue 1 are shown in alphabetical order. Each club is displaced over four pages with 25 stickers. In the first two pages the squad is presented with two metallic stickers (the badge and the coach) and 20 stickers of players. The third page shows some stats and includes space up to four update mini-stickers of winter transfers. These stickers were included in the "Set Transfers" released in March 2020 with a total of 33 mini-stickers of players and coaches. In the last club page there are three special stickers: the home jersey (fabric sticker), the "danger" (metallic sticker) and "the rock" (metallic sticker).

The Ligue 2 section starts immediately after the Ligue 1. Each club includes the metallic badge (half sticker) and four players in action (two players per sticker). All the other players are listed in the album together with some facts about old players and stickers. After the suspension of the 2019-2020 season, Lens and Lorient were promoted to Ligue 1.
