Panini Football 2005 (Belgium)

 

Football 2005 is the official sticker collection of the Belgian football for the 2004/2005 season. The collection includes the clubs of Division I and Division II with no other sections with stickers. There are also no extra stickers or updates for this collection.

The album starts with the Division I clubs shown in alphabetical order. Each club features 19 stickers displaced over three pages: the shiny club badge, the team photo (composed by two stickers), the coach, and 15 player stickers. The peculiarity of this collection is that the player stickers are horizontal with both the photos of the player portrait and in action, as it is usual for the Spanish collections (Liga Este).

After the calendar of the season, the 18 clubs of Division II are shown. For each club there are three stickers: the shiny club badge and two stickers with players (six players on one sticker, for a total of 12 players included).

In the season 2004/2005, Club Brugge won the Division I with 79 points, three points more than Anderlecht. The Serbian striker Nenad Jestrovic (Anderlecht) was the top goalscorer of the tournament with 18 goals. Other relevant players included are the 18 years old Vincent Kompany and the Portuguese Sergio Conceiçao (ex Porto, Lazio, Parma, Inter).

Panini Futbol Colombiano 2005

After 14 years Panini is back to Colombia with the sticker collection of the local league. The album Futbol Colombiano 2005 follows the style of the period, being therefore very different from the last edition (Futbol 91).

The layout is straightforward, with and introduction without stickers (foreword, table of contents and checklist with numbers), followed by the presentation of the 18 clubs of Primera A and Primera B, without any additional section with stickers. 

The collection includes the clubs that took part into the Torneo Finalizacion 2005, also named Copa Mustang II. Deportivo Calì won the title defeating Real Cartagena in the finals (2-0 and 1-0). Hugo Rodallega (Deportivo Calì) and Jamerson Renteria (Real Cartagena) were the top goalscorers of the tournament with 12 goals. The sticker album features 19 stickers for each club of Primera A: the shiny club badge, the team photo, the coach, and 16 players.

The section dedicated to the Primera B includes just the team photo sticker for each of the 18 competing teams. In the collection we find the stickers of familiar faces (Zapata, Ospina, Riva, Jackson Martinez), who played in Europe during their careers.

Panini Voetbal 2005

 

Voetbal 05 is the last collection of the Dutch football produced by Panini. The series started in 1978 and continued until 2000; then it was picked up again in 2004 for two more editions. After 2005, more albums of the Eredivisie were produced by local supermarkets (Plus and AH).

The album Voetbal 2005 starts with the contents and an introductory page with the foreword and two shiny stickers celebrating the winners of the previous season (Ajax won the Eredivisie and Utrecht won the KNVB Cup). The 18 Eredivisie clubs are then shown following the standing order of the previous season. The three main clubs (Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord) have a total of 20 stickers displaced over three pages: the shiny badge, the team photo composed by two stickers, and 17 players. The remaining clubs have only 18 stickers, including the badge, the team photo and 15 players.

After showing all the Eredivisie clubs, the album ends with a page dedicated to the Amstel Cup 2004/2005, including the shiny sticker of the trophy. The cup was finally won by PSV, whereas Ajax won the Eredivisie title, and Dirk Kuyt was the top scorer with 29 goals.
