Panini Pro League 2025

 

Pro League 2024-2025 is the official sticker collection of Belgian football, published by Panini. It covers the three main competitions of the country: the Pro League, the Challenger Pro League (second division), and the Women’s Super League. The collection counts a total of 453 stickers, with an additional set of “Goal Machine” extra cards available separately in starter packs and boxes.

The album opens with an introduction page and the first sticker of the official ball, followed by the clubs of the Pro League. Each of the 16 top-flight clubs is given a layout of 26 stickers, spread over four pages: the metallic club badge, the team photo, the home shirt, the away shirt, the coach, the talent, and 20 player portrait stickers. This expansion to four club pages compared to previous seasons gives more space to additional stickers, like shirts and players in action. 

The Challenger Pro League also features 16 clubs, though here the allocation is more compact: each team has only the metallic badge (half sticker) and the team photo sticker. The Women’s Super League is presented with the same scheme: 8 clubs, each with the metallic badge (half sticker) and the team photo sticker.

The “Goal Machine” set is not part of the album but consists of 10 extra cards highlighting the most prolific scorers. These can only be found as inserts in starter packs and boxes, adding a collectible bonus for fans. 

As for the season itself, Genk won the Pro League 2024-2025 title, while the scoring charts were led by Andrea Bertaccini (RWDM) and Tolu Arokodare (Genk), both finishing with 19 goals.

Panini Cesky Fotbal 1997

 

Cesky Fotbal 1997 is the first Panini album dedicated to Czech football. The year before, the Czech league already had its own sticker album, published by Corfix. With Cesky Fotbal 1997, Panini entered the market in collaboration with Corfix, starting a short but fascinating series that lasted three years (1997, 1998, and 1999).

The album opens with a three-page section on the Czech national team, with 21 stickers in total: the team photo composed by four stickers on the first page, the best players and the shiny federation badge on the second and third page.

The 1. Liga is represented with all 16 clubs in alphabetical order. Each team has 17 stickers over two pages: the team photo (two stickers), the shiny club badge, and 14 players. The 2. Liga is also included, with 16 clubs featured in a more compact layout of 8 stickers each (team photo, shiny club badge, and six players). In total, the album contains 421 stickers. Compact but comprehensive, it is a remarkable release thanks to the collaboration between Corfix and Panini and the inclusion of both the top two divisions alongside the national team.

Sparta Praha won the 1996/1997 league with 65 points, ahead of Slavia Praha. Horst Siegl (Sparta Praha) was the league’s top scorer with 19 goals.
