Panini Tour de France 2025

 

Tour de France 2025 is Panini’s official sticker collection dedicated to the 2025 edition of the world’s most famous cycling race. Published also in a hardcover version, the album contains 396 stickers and combines coverage of the men’s and women’s competitions with a strong focus on the route and the participating teams.

The album opens with an introductory page presenting the route of the Tour de France 2025 together with the first sticker of the collection, a metallic sticker of the mascot MaxooAs the 2025 edition starts from Lille, Panini dedicates the following two pages to “Les Hauts-de-France et le Tour de France”, a thematic section celebrating cyclists connected to the Hauts-de-France region. Here we find six metallic stickers portraying historical riders.

The album then moves to one of its central elements: the presentation of the route and the stages of the Tour. Each stage receives its own dedicated space with one sticker per stage, for a total of 23 stickers. In addition, Panini leaves empty spaces where collectors can place the stickers of the stage winners released later with the update set titled “Les Instantanés”. At the conclusion of this section, the album also includes spaces for the four winners of the Tour’s distinctive jerseys — yellow, green, polka-dot mountain jersey, and white jersey — whose stickers are likewise part of the update release. 

The presentation of the participating teams forms the core of the collection. The 22 teams are shown in alphabetical order and each receives 14 stickers spread over dedicated pages. For every team, the layout includes the metallic team logo, a sticker of the team in action, the metallic team bike, the official jersey, and 10 portrait stickers of riders expected to play a role in the race. 

The final part of the album is dedicated to the Tour de France Femmes 2025, reinforcing the increasing prominence of women’s cycling within modern Panini collections. This section opens with the presentation of the route, represented by a metallic sticker, followed by a page reserved for the winners of the women’s jerseys classifications, whose four stickers are again included in the update set. The women’s competition is then represented through the 18 participating teams, each featured with one rider portrait sticker. Although more compact than the men’s section, this inclusion gives visibility to the growing importance of the women’s Tour de France.

From a sporting perspective, the Tour de France 2025 was once again dominated by Tadej Pogačar, who secured another overall victory. In the women’s competition, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won the Tour de France Femmes 2025 in her debut participation, becoming the first French rider to win the modern edition of the race.

Panini Campeonato Ecuatoriano 2008

 

Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol 2008 is Panini’s sticker collection dedicated to the Ecuadorian Serie A for the 2008 season. Released two years after the first Ecuadorian league album published by Panini in 2006, this collection continued the company’s presence in the country before the first chapter of the series produced in 2012. With a total of 268 stickers, the album presents a colourful and energetic overview of Ecuadorian club football during the late 2000s.

One of the most striking aspects is the original cover design, which features the supporters of the 12 participating clubs, emphasizing the passion and atmosphere surrounding Ecuadorian football. The album opens with an introductory page containing the league’s roll of honour together with four metallic stickers. These depict the logo of the Ecuadorian Football Federation, the league trophy, the official match ball, and the official logo of the album, represented by a stylized football player in action who also appears on the cover artwork.

Following the introduction, Panini dedicates a double-page spread to the presentation of the 12 Serie A clubs, each represented through a team photo sticker. Each of the 12 teams is then presented over two pages with a total of 17 stickers per club. The layout includes the metallic club badge, the metallic home shirt, and 15 player stickers showing footballers in action rather than in traditional portrait format. 

The final section of the album is titled “Las Figuras” and is dedicated to some of the league’s standout players. This section contains 36 stickers representing 12 featured footballers, each composed of a vertical three-sticker sequence that forms a larger action image. 

Apart from this concluding section, the album does not include further thematic inserts, update sets, or extra cards. The structure remains relatively compact and straightforward, focusing almost entirely on the clubs and players of the Ecuadorian championship. 

From a sporting perspective, the 2008 Ecuadorian Serie A season ended with Deportivo Quito winning the national title, the third championship in the club’s history. The league’s top scorer was Pablo Palacios of Barcelona Sporting Club, who finished the season with 20 goals and established himself as one of the most prolific forwards of the tournament.

Overall, Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol 2008 is a lively and visually distinctive collection that captures the atmosphere of Ecuadorian football at the time. The album features thick paper pages — a level of quality that is uncommon in modern sticker albums — bringing back the feel of classic Panini football albums.
