A little fantasy football, a little role-playing game, an eye for the new that advances without losing the charm of an eternal era . Between an “I have it” and a “I miss it”, between exchanges at the oratory and under the school desks, this year too Panini accompanies the 2017-2018 football season with her timeless stickers.
On newsstands “Calciatori Adrenalyn XL 2017-18” , the collection of Panini cards dedicated to the great protagonists of the new football season. A collection made up of 471 cards , featuring all the players of the Serie A teams, including 111 with special processing: metal, “rainbow”, gold print .
The collection has the squads updated on the first day of the championship. The cards referring to the latest market hits will be included in the sachets on newsstands starting from October.
Tradition and renewal, we said: this collection, in fact, is also an exciting game that allows you to recreate real football matches through the construction of an increasingly competitive team . The games can be played on the playing field contained in the Starter Pack, combined with the Official Guide, but there is also the possibility of “replicating” them online on the website www.paniniadrenalyn.com .
In the collection there are a minimum of 18 cards for each Serie A TIM team, to which is added the card dedicated to the Trophy.
Space also for special cards: among these, absolute novelties are the “Super Draft” , which portray young talents on the launching pad in the panorama of Italian football, and the “Superheroes” on established players considered real heroes by their supporters. Another novelty of this collection is an exclusive online space dedicated to youtubers and bloggers, who will be able to make videos and participate in a competition.
For fanatics and super enthusiasts there will also be the “Premium” sachets that will contain 10 cards, including a limited edition, and the “Premium Gold” sachetswith a very special and exclusive content, again this year. There are more and more “Limited Edition” cards, this year 20 in all: these cards will be distributed with various products starting with “Bomber”, the new Panini magazine dedicated to the world of football , on newsstands from 15 September.
Here are the words of Antonio Allegra , Panini’s Italian Market Director:
“The ‘Calciatori Adrenalyn XL 2017-2018’ collection, now in its ninth edition, as usual inaugurates the season of collectible products dedicated to Serie A. This year, in the wake of the incredible success achieved last year, the collection was further enriched in terms of content and playability, both physical and online, thanks to the unique codes printed on each card. Perhaps the most relevant news is given by the involvement of influencers and enthusiasts in creating dedicated video content, amplifying the gaming experience. We are sure that collectors and fans of Serie A will love this collection again, awaiting the release of the classic collection of ‘Calciatori’ stickers, expected by the end of the year ”
We also remind you that Panini has also released the album on the most anticipated football event of all 2018, the World Cup in Russia. ROAD TO 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia – Sticker Collection contains 30 of the best national teams and 480 player stickers, all to be collected in the 64-page album. Because the challenge is increasingly heated and the last matches will be decisive in defining the national teams that will take part in the next World Cup. And then maybe in 50-60 years an auction will be unleashed to have the album as happened with one from 1970 with the signature of Pele.
