Calciatori 2003-2003 is the official sticker collection of the Italian football, including all the professional leagues (Serie A, B, C1, and C2) and also the women's Serie A.
The album starts with the 18 Serie A clubs in alphabetical order, with 24 sticker for each club on four pages: the shiny club badge, the team photo, the youth team photo, the coach, and 20 player portrait stickers. Player careers are printed next to each player in the album. In addition, there is space for up to four stickers coming from the update set released in the spring 2004. The update set includes a total of 105 new players and the mini-stickers "trasferito" for the players that left the club. For some clubs there are more update stickers than the space available in the album. Some big names in the update set are Antonio Conte (Juventus), Adriano and Stankovic (FC Inter).
The album continues with the other leagues. In Serie B there are 24 clubs, each with the following stickers: the team photo, the shiny badge (half sticker), and 14 players (there are two players on one sticker). The Serie C1 is divided into two groups of 18 clubs. For each club there are the club badge (half shiny sticker) and the team photo sticker. For the 54 clubs of Serie C2 divided in three groups there is only the club badge sticker (half shiny sticker). The album features also the women's Serie A, with the shiny club badge (half sticker) and the team photo sticker for each of the 13 competing clubs.
The album ends with a section dedicated to the Viareggio tournament for youth teams, very popular at that time. This section includes only the tournament logo (half shiny sticker). Juventus won the tournament defeating Empoli in the final (3-0). AC Milan won the Serie A 2003/2004 with 81 points and Shevchenko (AC Milan) was the top scorer of the tournament with 24 goals.
