There are no other sections, but an update set with a total of 128 stickers of players was released in the spring 2021. In the update set there are many young prospects (El Hadj, Daniel Perez, Marco Kana) and some well known players like Tahith Chong and Bas Dost.

For the 8 clubs of First Division and for the 10 clubs of the Women's league there are 11 stickers on one page: the shiny badge, the team photo, and 9 stickers with the coach and the players (two players per sticker).

Panini Brasileiro 2011 (hardcover album)

Campeonato Brasileiro 2011 is the official sticker collection of the Brazilian football for the season 2011. For the first time Panini released a hardcover version of the album, in a limited edition that became immediately very rare. This is the first ever hardcover album released by Panini for a national league. Other countries (Italy, France, England, Spain, and Belgium at last) will follow some years later, with the first Calciatori hardcover in 2016/17 or the Premier League in 2019/20.

Campeonato Brasileiro 2011 includes all the clubs of Serie A and Serie B. The album begins with the table of contents and an introductory page including the sticker number zero: 50 years of Panini (1961-2011). Then the 20 Serie A clubs are shown with 18 stickers each over two pages: the shiny club badge, the home kit, the shiny mascot, the star player in action (PCV sticker), and 14 players. Serie B clubs are included with 8 stickers each: the shiny badge and mascot, and 6 stickers of players including a total of 12 players (two players per sticker). There are no other sections in the album, but the collection features also 8 autograph stickers, which are the same as the regular stickers but with the autograph of the player on it. Those 8 stickers published in the two versions (regular and autographed) are: Ricardinho, Maicosuel, Julio Cesar, Deco, Valdivia, Ganso, Rivaldo, Juninho Pernambucano. 

In addition to those famous names, the Brazilian Serie A included some remarkable players like Ronaldinho, Neymar, Adriano, Casemiro, Alex Sandro, Paulinho, Lucas Moura. Corinthians won the 2011 Campeonato Brasileiro with 71 points, two points more than Vasco da Gama. The striker Borges (Santos) was the top goalscorer with 23 goals. In the following, we present the hardcover album with a complete loose set of stickers.
