Panini Fotboll 86 (Sweden)

 

Fotboll 86 is the first album of the Swedish league produced by Panini. However, 15 years before, the company from Modena printed one album of the Swedish football edited by Williams Forlag (Fotboll 71), which can be considered the first international league album printed by Panini. 
The album Fotboll 86 is in line with the collections of the period, being very classy and stylish with overall high quality of paper and stickers. The album includes all the clubs of the first and the second Swedish division and a central page with football stars, including among the others the stickers of Maradona and Platini. The album begins with an introduction including the contents and the team Sweden photo composed by four stickers. The 12 clubs of first division (Allsvenskan) are shown in alphabetical order with 19 stickers each: the metallic club badge, the metallic team photo (two stickers), the coach, and 15 players. Those pages includes also a brief player description under each sticker. 
In the center of the album there are two pages with 16 stickers of international football stars. These are round stickers of player portraits. Here we can find the stickers of Maradona (Argentina), Platini (France), Altobelli (Italy), Butragueno (Spain), Rumenigge and Schumacher (Germany), Careca (Brazil), Boniek (Poland), Francescoli (Uruguay), Laudrup and Elkjaer (Denmark), Lineker (England), Romero (Paraguay), Scifo (Belgium), Sanchez (Mexico) and Rush (Wales).
The last part of the album focuses on Division II, which includes a total of 28 clubs divided in two groups (Norra and Sodra). For each club there are two stickers: the metallic club badge and the team photo.
