Football 2004 is the sticker album number 32 of the Belgian series started with the season 1972/73. As stated on the cover, this album includes both the First and Second Division and it celebrates "more than 30 years of football" in Belgium, with two special sections inside the album.
The album begins with a foreword page followed by three pages showing the Panini Football covers from 1972/73 to 2003, with a total of 31 stickers. After a page with the fixtures of the season, the 18 clubs of the First Division are shown in alphabetical order. For each club there are 22 stickers displaced over three pages: the shiny club badge, the team photo composed by two stickers, the coach, and 18 player portrait stickers. Player careers are printed on the album below each player sticker.
Right after the First Division, the album features two special sections. The first one is dedicated to five legendary coaches in Belgium (Happel, Goethals, Ivic, de Mos, Antheunis) and the latter to the stars of Belgian football taken from the Panini Football albums since 1972/73. Among those 30 stickers we find Ceulemans, Preud'homme, Scifo, Pfaff, and Wilmots.
The album ends with the Second Divsion, feauturing the 18 competing clubs with three stickers: the shiny club badge and the team photo (two stickers).
