The European Championships football sticker album for children has sparked a dispute between Panini and Topps, both claiming the other has made mistakes. Panini is proceeding with their own album due to their rights to display players in their kit, while Topps can only show headshots and has received criticism for being printed before the qualifiers ended. As a result, neither album is complete; Panini’s version only includes 387 stickers covering England, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. The official album will also omit notable players like Marcus Rashford, Kyle Walker, and John Stones, leading to disappointment among fans.
Complaints have arisen about the inclusion of players who may not participate in the tournament, with one fan sharing an image of the sticker album and expressing disbelief at the inclusion of players like Luke Thomas, who has not yet played for the England first team. Another fan expressed frustration at the situation, suggesting that Panini has been wronged in the creation of the Euro 2024 sticker book.
