Panini Foot 2026

 

Foot 2025-2026 is Panini’s official sticker collection dedicated to the French Ligue 1 for the 2025/2026 season. Released in December 2025 and also available in a hardcover edition, the album contains 602 stickers and introduces a fresh concept by celebrating the league’s most famous rivalries alongside the traditional presentation of the clubs. The result is a collection that combines current squads with the historical and regional identity of French football.

The album opens with an introductory page containing the table of contents and the first sticker of the collection: a metallic sticker of the Ligue 1 trophy. From there, the album alternates between club presentations and thematic sections dedicated to the greatest derbies.

One of the defining features of Foot 2025-2026 is the inclusion of seven rivalry sections, each spread over two pages. Every section presents the history and statistics of one of Ligue 1’s most iconic fixtures and includes six metallic action stickers, three for each club involved. The featured rivalries are Le Classique (Olympique de Marseille – Paris Saint-Germain), Le Derby du Nord, Le Derby du Sud, Le Derby de l’Ouest, Le Derby de l’Est, Le Derby de la Côte d’Azur, and Le Derby de Paris. 

The 18 Ligue 1 clubs are presented in alphabetical order, each occupying four pages and represented by 28 stickers. The first two pages introduce the club through five special stickers: four metallic stickers featuring the “Maestro”, the “Top Recrue”, the “Buteur”, and the team celebrating together, plus a sticker of the club’s home shirt. The following two pages are dedicated to the squad itself, with the metallic club badge accompanied by 22 player portrait stickers.ù

The album concludes with several traditional sections. A double-page spread is dedicated to the eight Ligue 1 referees, continuing a feature that has become a familiar part of recent Foot collections. This is followed by the customary “Mercato d’Hiver” section. and closed by the season calendar, including a sticker of the defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.

As in previous editions, the winter transfer market is covered through a dedicated update set, released in March 2026. The update introduces 46 new player stickers, allowing collectors to keep the album aligned with squad changes during the season. It also includes the usual “Joueur transféré” mini-stickers for players who changed clubs, together with mini-stickers celebrating the official Ligue 1 awards of the season. These recognise Ousmane Dembélé as Meilleur Joueur, Désiré Doué as Meilleur Espoir, Robin Risser as Meilleur Gardien, and Pierre Sage as Meilleur Coach. The mini-stickers are designed to be placed next (or on top) of the corresponding player stickers in the album.

Panini Italia in Pista (2026)

Italia in Pista is Panini’s official sticker collection dedicated to the Italian national team participating in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Released in January 2026, the album celebrates Italian winter sports by presenting the athletes selected for the Olympic event across all major disciplines. With 192 stickers and an additional card collection distributed through sticker packets, the album represents a complete tribute to the Italian team ahead of the home Olympic Games.

The album opens with a checklist page. The athletes are then presented according to their disciplines, rather than by individual sport stars or medal prospects. The sections follow a thematic naming system combining two characteristics associated with each discipline: “Dinamica + Precisione”, “Tecnica + Adrenalina”, “Potenza + Aerodinamica”, “Energia + Acrobazia”, “Velocità + Equilibrio”, “Flessibilità + Gravità”, and “Resistenza + Agilità”.

Each discipline section contains action stickers of the Italian athletes, capturing them during competition. In addition to the athlete stickers, each section includes a metallic sticker representing the equipment used in that sport and a drawing illustrating the discipline itself.

Beyond the athlete sections, the album includes two pages dedicated to the Olympic and Paralympic calendars, with two stickers with the logos of the events. A final thematic section celebrates Italian automotive excellence with eight metallic stickers dedicated to Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Maserati, brands historically connected with Italian industrial heritage and sporting culture.

A distinctive feature of Italia in Pista is the presence of an additional card collection. Each sticker packet contains one extra card, creating a complete set of 40 athlete cards. The images used on the cards are the same as those appearing on the stickers. The limited variation between stickers and cards, together with the choice of some athlete photographs, represents one of the weaker aspects of the collection. In several cases, the action images make athletes difficult to recognise, while some photographs do not fully capture the personality of the athletes. More traditional profile portraits would likely have improved identification and the overall collecting experience.

The card collection also includes two highly exclusive limited editions: larger signed cards featuring Italian sporting legends Alberto Tomba and Carolina Kostner. These cards were limited to 250 copies each and were available exclusively through the Panini website in a bundle with two boxes of 36 packets.

From a sporting perspective, the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games represent a historic moment for Italian winter sports, as Italy hosts the Winter Olympics for the third time after Cortina d’Ampezzo 1956 and Torino 2006. The Italian team arrived at the event with strong medal ambitions, winning a total of 30 medals, being the third country for number of medals behind Norway (44 medals) and USA (33 medals). The leading figures were women in particular: Brignone in alpine skiing, Lisa Vittozzi in biathlon, Francesca Lollobrigida in speed skating, and Arianna Fontana in short track.
