Fussball 97 is the official sticker collection of the Austrian football for the season 1996/1997. The collection produced by Panini includes 274 stickers with all the clubs of Division 1 and Division 2.
The album begins with an introductory page including three shiny stickers: the Bundesliga logo and the celebrations of the Bundesliga (Rapid Wien) and the Austrian Cup winners (Sturm Graz) of the 1995/1996 season. The album shows first the clubs of Division 1 following the standing order of the previous season, starting therefore with Rapid Wien. For each club there are six pages and 25 stickers, except for Admira Wacker (24 stickers) and Linz (23 stickers). The first club page includes three shiny stickers: the club badge, the supporters, and the team photo. The following three pages include the coach and 16 players, and the last two pages five shiny stickers of players in action.
Clubs of Division 2 are also included in the collection but just with two stickers: the shiny club badge (half sticker) and the team photo. In the collection we find some of the best Austrian players of the period (Ivica Vastic, Mario Haas) and some International players, like the Italian Giuseppe Giannini, who is a legend in Rome for playing 318 games in 15 seasons, or the Bulgarian Trifon Ivanov. Austria Salzburg won the 1996/1997 Bundesliga with 69 points and Réné Wagner (Rapid Wien) was the topgoalscorer with 28 goals.
