Plus Eredivisie 2026

 

Eredivisie 2025/2026 is a sticker collection dedicated to the Dutch top football division, distributed by the supermarket chain Plus during the 2025/2026 season. Sticker packets were offered free with purchases, as a tradition that had been absent since the Eredivisie 2020/2021 album distributed by Albert Heijn. As such, the album represents a welcome return of supermarket-based football collecting in the Netherlands, while the last Panini album is dated 2005.

The collection consists of 288 regular stickers and four XXL stickers, which are integrated into the album at specific points. The opening pages contain an introductory section featuring the first XXL sticker, depicting the official match ball of the Eredivisie. 

The main body of the album is dedicated to the 18 Eredivisie clubs, which are shown in alphabetical order. Each club occupies four pages and is represented by 16 stickers. The sticker selection is deliberately simple, consisting of the golden club badge and 15 player portrait stickers. Alongside the stickers, the pages include information about the club, statistics, and photographs of key players, providing additional context and making the album informative as well as collectible.

Unlike many contemporary football collections, the album focuses almost exclusively on the clubs and their squads, without special sections dedicated to transfers, legends, stadiums, or league highlights. This minimalist approach recalls earlier supermarket collections, where the emphasis was placed on the teams themselves rather than on thematic inserts or premium content.

The final pages of the album are devoted to the section “Kampioen”, designed to celebrate the outcome of the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season. Here collectors can place an XXL sticker featuring the league trophy together with the badges of all participating clubs arranged according to the final league standings. These badges are part of a XXL sticker.

The fourth and final XXL sticker, titled “Ons Voetbal”, is intended for the back cover of the album and serves as a closing tribute to Dutch football. Overall, Eredivisie 2025/2026 is a straightforward and accessible sticker album that prioritizes club representation over elaborate special sections. While its design is relatively simple compared to many modern commercial collections, the return of an Eredivisie album after a five-year absence and the inclusion of the XXL stickers make it an appealing souvenir of Dutch football for both young collectors and long-time fans of supermarket sticker promotions.

On the field, the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season concluded with PSV Eindhoven securing the league title after another strong domestic campaign. Ayase Ueda finished as the championship's top scorer with 25 goals for Feyenoord.

Panini Voetbal 82

 

Panini Voetbal 82 is a classic sticker album dedicated to Dutch football for the 1981/1982 season, covering both the Eredivisie and the Eerste Divisie. With a total of 427 stickers, the collection reflects the traditional Panini style of the early 1980s: simple, structured, and strongly focused on team squads, with only a few additional thematic elements.

The album opens with an introductory page that includes the contents and four stickers. Two of these form the KNVB Beker trophy, while the other two compose an action image of Willem van Hanegem, one of the most iconic Dutch players of the era. 

The 18 Eredivisie clubs are then shown in alphabetical order. Each team is allocated 19 stickers across two pages, following a consistent and clear layout. The presentation includes a metallic club badge, a team photo composed of two stickers, the manager, and a series of player portrait stickers completing the squad. 

After the Eredivisie section, the album transitions to the Eerste Divisie. This part begins with a double-page introduction featuring the season fixtures alongside 18 team photo stickers, one for each competing club.

The Eerste Divisie clubs are then presented in alphabetical order, though in a much more compact format compared to the top division. Each club is represented by three player stickers, with four players printed on each sticker, allowing twelve players to be included per team. In addition, each club has half of a metallic badge sticker, shared with another club on the same sticker. The album concludes after the Eerste Divisie section, with no additional thematic pages, extra stickers, or update sets.

From a sporting perspective, the 1981/82 season saw AFC Ajax win the Eredivisie title, with their striker Wim Kieft finishing as top scorer with an impressive 32 goals. In the domestic cup, FC Utrecht claimed the KNVB Cup, defeating AZ '67 1–0 in the final thanks to a goal by Jan Wouters.
