Panini Fussball 2003/2004 (Austria)

 

The Fussball Bundesliga 03/04 sticker album, published by Panini, is dedicated to the Austrian football season 2003/2004 and covers both the Bundesliga and the Erste Liga. With a total of 312 stickers, the collection follows the classic early-2000s Panini format, offering a well-structured and comprehensive overview of Austrian domestic football without updates, special inserts, posters, or card extras.

The album opens with an introductory page featuring two stickers, both celebrating the previous season. These depict Austria Wien as champions of the 2002/2003 Bundesliga and Axel Lawarée, who finished as top scorer of the 2002/2003 season.

The main body of the album is dedicated to the 10 Bundesliga clubs, each presented over four pages with a total of 27 stickers per team. For every club, the layout includes the shiny club badge, the stadium, the manager, a team photo composed of two stickers, five shiny action stickers of players, and 17 player portrait stickers. 

After the Bundesliga sections, the album features a series of special pages that reflect key moments and themes from the 2002/2003 season. The first of these is dedicated to the final of the Austrian Cup 2002/2003, illustrated with two stickers on a single page. This is followed by the Season Highlights 2002/2003, consisting of three stickers showcasing memorable moments from the campaign. The Young-Star Team 2002/2003 then presents the best emerging talents of the league, with three of the selected players represented as stickers. Another short section titled “Österreichische Kicker im Ausland 2003/2004” highlights Austrian players abroad, featuring Martin Stranzl and Harald Cerny.

The album concludes with the Erste Liga section, which adopts a more compact presentation. Each of the 10 second-division clubs is represented by three stickers: a team photo split into two stickers and a shiny club badge. 

From a sporting perspective, the 2003/2004 season was marked by the historic success of Grazer AK, who won the Austrian Bundesliga title, while Roland Kollmann, also playing for Grazer AK, finished the championship as top scorer with 27 goals.
