Panini’s iconic World Cup sticker albums will vanish after the 2030 edition, ending a 60-year run with FIFA.
The Italian publisher has been part of football culture since 1970, but FIFA has now signed with Fanatics-owned Topps to produce stickers and trading cards from 2031.

Fanatics already supplies UEFA collectibles, having replaced Panini in 2024. FIFA president Gianni Infantino called the deal “a new, meaningful way for fans to engage” and said it adds vital revenue for the game.
Panini albums will still feature at the 2026 men’s World Cup, the 2027 Women’s World Cup, and the 2030 tournament before the handover.
