Panini Voetbal 88


In 1988, the Dutch football was at its highest level, with the victory in the European Championship. The Eredivisie was very competitive and clubs like Ajax and PSV were very successful in Europe. In the season 1987/1988, PSV won both the Eredivisie title and the Champions League, defeating Benfica in the final. Ajax got the second place in the league and reached the final of the European Cup winners' Cup, losing against Mechelen. 
The Panini collection Voetbal 88 begins with an introduction including five metallic stickers: the map of the Netherlands, Rinus Michels (coach of the National team), Gullit and Van Basten (players of A.C. Milan), and Eric Willaarts (Borussia M.).  
The collection continues with the clubs of Eredivisie. Each club is displaced over two pages with a total of 18 stickers: the team photo (two stickers) and 16 players. The downside of this album is the lack of club badge stickers for the clubs of Eredivisie. Inexplicably only the clubs of Eerste Divisie have their own badge sticker. 











The Eerste Divisie includes 19 clubs. Each club includes three stickers: the club badge (metallic) and the team photo (two stickers).





The last part of the album includes a section with 11 European clubs that won the National championship the season before and are thus taking part in the Champions League 1987/1988. For each club there are three stickers: the club badge (regular sticker) and the team photo (two stickers). Among the clubs included we find Everton, Bordeaux, Real Madrid, Benfica, Bayern Munchen, Benfica, and Napoli.

Panini Futbol Argentino 2017/18


The album Futbol Argentino 2017 is the official sticker collection of the Argentinian football, including all the clubs of Superliga and B Nacional for the season 2017/2018. The main new feature is about the size of the album, which is larger compared to the previous editions. The cover has the same design of the collection Calciatori 2017 and it was used by Panini also for other league collections of the season 2017/18. 
The album starts with the calendar of the season and the metallic sticker of the Argentinian Football Association (AFA). The Superliga 2017/2018 is still a large championship with 28 clubs competing. Each club is displaced over two pages including 15 stickers: the metallic club badge, the home kit, and 13 players. The number of stickers is the same for all the clubs and there are no metallic stickers of players. Club pages are enriched by a 'Futbolpedia' with facts about the history and players of the club.












25 clubs are competing in the B Nacional. For each club, this collection includes four stickers: the club badge (metallic sticker), the home kit, and the team photo (two stickers).
