After the Serie A, there is the section "Selecionados Seleçoes", with 20 South American players from the Brazilian Serie A ready for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Each player in action is composed by two shiny stickers, for a total of 40 stickers in this section. The serie B section starts right after. Each club is displaced on one page with a total of 8 stickers: the shiny badge, the shiny mascot, and six stickers of players (two players per sticker for a total of 12 players).

Panini Football 2001 (Malta)

 

Football 2000-2001 is the one and only sticker collection of the Maltese football produced by Panini (there is also a second album produced by a Maltese company in 2019, called "Malti Futbol"). The collection features not only the Premier Division, but also the First, the Second, and the Third Divisions. Moreover, it includes also the Gozo First Division, which is played in the island of Gozo. In addition, there is a poster with 26 stickers dedicated to the national team.

The album begins with a foreword by the President of the Malta Football Association, explaining that this collection comes from the initiative of Dominic Anastasi, which was the Malta representative for Panini, to celebrate 100 years of the football association. The clubs of the different divisions are then shown in alphabetical order, starting from the 10 clubs of Premier Division. Each club of Premier and First Division has 20 stickers displaced over two pages: the shiny badge, the team photo (two stickers), the manager, and 16 players. The clubs of Second and Third Division have only the club badge (half-size shiny sticker) and the team photo sticker. Also the eight clubs of the Gozo League have the badge and team photo stickers. 

The album ends with no additional sections with stickers, but the collection features also a poster of the Malta National Team with 26 stickers (from A to Z) of the coach Josef Ilic and 25 players.
