The first Women's World Cup sticker album

Sporting Witness

Available for over a year

Panini have been making World Cup sticker albums since 1970, but in 2011 they decided to make the first one for the women's tournament being held in Germany. Only available in the host country, they sold more than 4.5 million packets of stickers in two weeks. They had to print a million more stickers to keep up with demand. Roxanne König from Panini in Germany speaks to Uma Doraiswamy about how the album was created and its popularity. (Photo: Panini stickers for the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011.
