Panini Calciatori 2025

Calciatori 2024-2025 maintains the traditional structure but introduces some significant novelties, starting from the binding: this season it is no longer stapled, but produced in a bound “brossurato” format, giving it a more solid and modern appearance while preserving the familiar layout of the pages. The album is available since 2016/2017 also in the hardcover format, a high quality version perfect for collectors. The complete album consists of 886 stickers, including the regular stickers from packets and the different update and special series released during the season.

The Serie A section remains central, with twenty clubs represented in detail. Each team is allocated 27 stickers: the shiny club badge, the team photo (two stickers), three star players in action (shiny), the manager, and 20 players. There are also additional four player stickers released through the update set. Serie B follows with a more concise structure, 20 clubs represented by six player stickers (three players per sticker) and the club badge (half shiny sticker), plus one update sticker for each team with three new players. Serie C, as in the recent editions, is included with all 60 clubs represented by a shiny club badge (four badges on one sticker) and the team photo (two teams on one sticker).

The introductory part of the album opens with one page displacing three regular stickers (Serie A trophy, logo and trophy of the player of the match) and four celebratory stickers of the Serie A, with the winners Napoli and the top scorer Retegui, included with the Calciatori Celebration set. Other special sections of the album are the 2024/2025 Supercoppa Italiana, represented by eight stickers (one from packets and seven from updates), as is the 2024/2025 Coppa Italia (also one sticker from the packets and seven from the updates). The 2024/2025 Serie A is also celebrated with the highlights of the season (25 stickers from the Calciatori celebration set) alongside with individual recognitions, such as the Player of the Match (one sticker), the Player of the Month (five stickers), the Coach of the Month (five stickers), and the Coach Experience 2025 (one sticker), won by the AS Roma manager Claudio Ranieri.

As in previous years, the album is extended and updated during the year with several releases. The Calciatori Upgrade set, traditionally published in March (18€), adds 100 stickers (U1–U100) including transfers and new signings of Serie A and Serie B squads. The Calciatori Celebration set, made up of 50 stickers (C1–C50), retraces the decisive moments of the season once the competitions are concluded, and it was released in June 2025 (9,90€). In addition, Panini distributed three special Calciatori Reloaded packets, containing a total of 15 stickers, with the newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. As an extra, the collection feature 40 slogan stickers, distributed one per packet, one for each Serie A and Serie B team.

Panini Premier League 2025

Premier League 2025 is the official sticker collection of the English Premier League released by Panini in December 2024. This is the sixth (and last, with Topps gaining the licence back) consecutive Premier League album produced by Panini since regaining the license in 2019, and once again it confirms itself as one of the most prestigious football sticker collections worldwide. The album is also available in the hardcover edition. In total, the collection includes 684 stickers.

The album opens with an introductory page containing two shiny stickers: the Premier League trophy and the official ball of the season. After this, the 20 home shirt stickers are presented. These are made with a special fabric material, giving this section a unique and collectible touch.

The core of the collection is dedicated to the 20 Premier League clubs, each represented with 29 stickers over four pages. On the first club page there are the shiny club badge sticker and four player portraits, on the second page we find eight more player stickers and the team flag sticker, also produced in the same fabric material as the shirts. On the third and fourth pages there are ten additional player portraits plus five special stickers – the Elite player (golden shiny), two key players in action, the Rising Star, and the Super Signing (silver shiny).

In the central part of the album, Panini added a series of special themed sections. “Season so far” recalls highlights of the first part of the 2024/25 season with six action stickers. “Panini Sticker Stars” celebrates 20 players (one from each club) with green-bordered action stickers, a colourful and modern design choice. Another section, “Record Breakers”, includes eight stickers dedicated to players who set new milestones in Premier League history.

As tradition, the album concludes with the Transfer Update, released in March 2025. This update set contains 48 new stickers of winter transfers and young players who made their debut in the second half of the season.

Beyond the main collection, parallel stickers are also part of the release. The 20 Elite player stickers can be found in four different colour variations, making them rare collectibles but not necessary to complete the standard album.

In the 2024/25 season, Liverpool won the Premier League title, breaking Manchester City’s streak of consecutive championships. The league’s top scorer was Mohamed Salah, who finished the campaign with 29 goals.
