Football 77 is the fifth album of the Belgian series released by Panini. In the same year Panini produced also the albums of the French league (Football 77) and obviously the Italian league (Calciatori 77), but not the albums of the German and the British championships yet (which will start in 1979 and 1978, respectively).
The album Football 77 includes all the clubs of Division 1 and Division 2, with a spectacular introductive page showing the geographical map of Belgium and the location of the football clubs, composed by 12 stickers.
The 18 clubs of Division 1 are shown in alphabetical order with 20 stickers over two pages: the metallic club badge, the coach, the team photo (composed by four stickers), and 14 players.
The Division 2 section starts right after showing first the badges of the 16 competing clubs (half sticker each) and in the following pages the squads with 12 players per team (two players per sticker). The team photo stickers are not included. There are also no other sections with stickers in the album.
In the season 1976/1977, Club Brugge won the Division 1 title and the top goalscorer of the championship was François van der Elst with 21 goals. Other remarkable Belgian players to be mentioned are Jean-Marie Pfaff, Eric Gerets, and Jan Ceulemans.
