In the 1994 World Cup, Italy lost the final at penalties against Brazil, a disappointing ending for the Italian supporters. However, it was a memorable game that finds a place also on the cover of the Calciatori 1994/95, with a photo of Baresi and Romario during the game. This is the only reference to the World Cup in the album, which does not include other sections than the Serie A, Serie B and Serie C1 leagues.
After the schedule of the season, the 18 Serie A clubs are shown in alphabetical order. For each club there are 20 stickers over two pages: the shiny metallic club badge, the mascot (transparent PVC sticker), the team photo (two stickers), and 16 players. All player careers are printed on the album. The Serie B section starts right after with one club per page including the stickers of the club badge (shiny metallic), the team photo, the mascot (half sticker), and 7 stickers of players (with two players per sticker). The album continues with the Serie C1, composed by two groups of 18 clubs. For each club there is the team photo sticker and the club badge sticker (half shiny sticker).
In the last part of the album there is a brief presentation of the 1994/1995 European Cups. AC Milan reached the Champions League final, but they were defeated by Ajax, whereas Parma won the UEFA Cup final against Juventus. In the 1994/1995 Serie A, Juventus won the title and Batistuta (Fiorentina) was the top goalscorer with 26 goals.
