It's just a propaganda video, Topps way to show UEFA national teams licensing now belongs to them, leaving Panini with zero UEFA stuff... Probably the cover won't be anything like that and maybe even Mourinho won't choose the likely squads by then.Isn't it too early for such album, given that we don't know even the qualifying groups?
Topps 101 is coming out soon for the NL which starts in June.Isn't it too early for such album, given that we don't know even the qualifying groups?

Panini loses stickers contract for Euros to Topps
Topps will replace Panini as UEFA's exclusive partner in producing trading cards, stickers, and collectables for upcoming European Championship.www.espn.co.uk
Here it says that Topps have the rights for the Nations League finals as well. Would that mean that we'll be getting such albums?
Can't possibly see how Mourinho could select every country's squad. He would need to put his personal views to one side for one thing, which wouldn't be possible for him.It's just a propaganda video, Topps way to show UEFA national teams licensing now belongs to them, leaving Panini with zero UEFA stuff...

I agree on that idea, Panini has to find something to counter Topps... it's not only the Euro album, it's also the Road To, which means two albums less and they definitely need to fill that void.What about Panini?
For me, they will try to propose an album.
I think they could propose a special edition for the Copa America album in Europe. Only Copa America in South America, and for Europe a mix between the Copa America and some European teams. Both competitions are in the same time, so we could imagine an album "Best selections in the world" or some bullshit like that... A kind of alternative album "FIFA 365" with nations...
It was one (among many) of the flaws in the last two Euro albums... Surely Topps will take into account everything Panini shouldn't have missed, Euro 2024 album needs to have major impact to sway even the hardcore Panini fans.I hope topps bring back Stadium stickers for this album. Germany has such an amazing stadiums.
I believe too, imo this last season they improved a lot on basic things like teams split by groups and even the shield stickers were quite nice to attach on the album.I for one, am very happy that Topps is making this collection. Panini has done such a bad job with the last 3-4 albums about Euro, WC. The last good album was Euro 2008 IMO.
I actually love Topps Champions League album from this year.
I believe they will make one hell of an album with Euro 2024.
I wonder if Panini is waiting on the resolution of the UEFA vs Superliga trial that is going on at the moment to judge whether UEFA has monopoly over European football. If UEFA looses then new licenses are up for grabs and if Panini get then they will hit the jackpot as the competition will have the best teams in Europe basically to replace Champions League but better in the words of the founders with tons of more money for everyone. Just me speculating, no official rumors from Panini.I agree on that idea, Panini has to find something to counter Topps... it's not only the Euro album, it's also the Road To, which means two albums less and they definitely need to fill that void.
Panini definitely needs to return to some humble roots, licensed or not.

Superleague is already tainted by their elitist entry, hardcore fans were completely against it (though everyone agrees UEFA should not have the monopoly)... so even if the trial rules in favour of superleague, the only reason for Panini to go for it would be solely money for speculators, zero passion there.I wonder if Panini is waiting on the resolution of the UEFA vs Superliga trial that is going on at the moment to judge whether UEFA has monopoly over European football.

And we know how much Panini loves $$$.Superleague is already tainted by their elitist entry, hardcore fans were completely against it (though everyone agrees UEFA should not have the monopoly)... so even if the trial rules in favour of superleague, the only reason for Panini to go for it would be solely money for speculators, zero passion there.
That would be pretty nice but honestly I really doubt it.I would like that the album size was the same as Panini albums.
