Panini FIFA 365 2019

FIFA 365 2019 is the fourth sticker album of the Panini’s "Golden World of Football" series, launched after the company lost the rights to the UEFA Champions League. The collection celebrates the global reach of the sport, featuring 22 elite clubs from Europe, Central and South America, and North Africa.

There are two main editions of this release. The first, known as the grey-back edition, contains a total of 468 stickers. The second, the blue-back edition, includes 446 base stickers but features additional clubs for the Eastern European and Greek markets. However, this latter version omits the 22 team shirt stickers that are present in the main set. In the Eastern Europe edition—presented here—the additional clubs are Crvena Zvezda, FK Partizan, and Olimpija Ljubljana, while in the Greek edition they are AEK Athens, Olympiakos, and PAOK.

The album opens with an introductory section containing three stickers: the FIFA 365 logo, the Panini logo, and the FIFA slogan “Living Football.” This is followed by a two-page spread entitled Football Giants, which presents the 22 club crests included in this edition. This section serves as a prelude to the detailed team pages that make up the core of the collection.

The clubs are presented by country, beginning with England, represented by Manchester City. Spain follows with Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Valencia. From France there are AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, while the German section features Bayern München, Borussia Dortmund, and Schalke 04. Italy is represented by Inter, Juventus, and Napoli, followed by PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands, FC Porto from Portugal, and Spartak Moscow from Russia. The final part of this main sequence includes six clubs from outside Europe: Boca Juniors, Corinthians, and Grêmio from South America, Al Ahly from Egypt, and the Mexican sides Club América and Tigres.

At the center of the album there is a special insert dedicated to the three extra clubs of the Eastern Europe edition: Crvena Zvezda, FK Partizan, and Olimpija Ljubljana. Each of these teams has 16 stickers, for a total of 48, numbered from S1 to S48.

Each team is presented over two pages with sixteen player stickers. Every sticker is divided into two parts: one showing the player’s portrait and the other an action shot on the field. Among these, three players per team are featured as gold shiny stickers, marking them as the stars of the squad.

The final part of the album is devoted to FIFA’s main international competitions. The largest section is dedicated to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, including a total of 40 stickers that retrace the highlights of the tournament, the teams, the final, the champions France, as well as memorable milestones and individual awards. This is followed by two pages celebrating women’s football, with 10 stickers in total: two dedicated to the upcoming 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, three showing the FIFA ranking, and five illustrating the U-20 Women’s World Cup. The album continues with a section on the FIFA Club World Cup, which features 12 stickers depicting the participating teams, the standout players, and the winners, Real Madrid.

The collection concludes with a one-page section titled Football Inspirations, dedicated to two football legends—Franz Beckenbauer and Diego Maradona—and five emerging stars of the time: Timothy Weah, Ferran Torres, Willem Geubbels, Jadon Sancho, and Phil Foden.
