Overview
- Panini’s official sticker album, launched Saturday at a Pacaembu event, confirms Neymar is not among the 18 Brazil players pictured.
- The company says an Italy-based sports team tracked recent national-team call-ups and form to assign probabilities for inclusion.
- Early production in 2025 explains mismatches, with Rodrygo pictured despite a knee injury ruling him out and Estêvão and Éder Militão listed despite fresh doubts.
- The album has 980 stickers with 68 special issues plus 20 extra color variants, and it goes on sale April 30 in four editions priced from R$24.90 to R$79.90.
- Brazil’s final 26-man squad is due May 18 from the CBF, so the album’s projected roster could diverge from Carlo Ancelotti’s official list.
