The governing body confirmed that starting from 2031, the responsibility for producing the iconic World Cup sticker album will transfer from the Italian company to Fanatics Collectibles, operating through its Topps division.\n\nThis decision marks the conclusion of one of the most enduring commercial relationships in sports history. The partnership between FIFA and Panini began in 1970, a year forever etched in football lore as it was when Brazil secured its third World Cup title in Mexico. By the time the contract expires, this collaboration will have spanned an incredible 61 years, accompanying generations of fans through the ritual of collecting and swapping stickers.\n\nThe new agreement is comprehensive. Fanatics Collectibles will not only take over the production of the traditional physical sticker albums for the World Cup but will also be responsible for all collectible products across every FIFA competition. This includes a significant expansion into digital formats, reflecting the evolving landscape of fan engagement and memorabilia collection.\n\nFor Panini, this represents the loss of its most prestigious and globally recognized football contract. The World Cup album has been a cultural phenomenon, a quadrennial tradition that unites fans of all ages across continents. The company's relationship with FIFA has been a cornerstone of its identity in the sports collectibles market.\n\nFor FIFA, the shift to Fanatics and Topps is a strategic move to modernize and potentially expand its collectibles revenue stream. Fanatics has rapidly grown into a global powerhouse in licensed sports merchandise and collectibles, and its acquisition of Topps brought a historic brand with deep roots in trading cards under its umbrella. This partnership positions FIFA to leverage new technologies and distribution models.\n\n\"A Fifa anunciou uma nova parceria para a produção de itens colecionáveis de suas competições, incluindo o tradicional álbum da Copa do Mundo,\" the official statement confirmed, emphasizing the scope of the new deal. The change is set to take effect after the current cycle, giving fans and the market time to adjust to the transition.\n\nThe implications for collectors are significant. While the core product—the sticker album—is expected to continue, the design, distribution, and potential integration of digital elements will now be guided by a new corporate philosophy. The move also raises questions about the future of Panini's other major football licenses and how the company will pivot following this monumental change.\n\nThis announcement is more than a simple business transaction; it is a cultural shift. The Panini World Cup album is a shared global experience, a tangible piece of the tournament that fans hold onto for decades. Its transition to a new steward marks a new chapter in how the world's most popular sporting event connects with its audience off the pitch.\n\nBased on reporting from g1.","news","FIFA announces a major shift in its collectibles business, ending its historic 61-year partnership with Panini.
