Panini FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 Sticker Album

Panini World Cup 2010 sticker album checklist (FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010): all 640 stickers, numbers 1–638 plus 00 and 000, 32 teams of 19.

The Panini World Cup 2010 sticker album — officially «FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010», also known as «Panini South Africa 2010» — was Panini's licensed collection for the tournament played in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010, the first World Cup held in Africa. A full album takes 640 stickers: numbers 1 to 638 plus two specials, 00 and 000. Each of the 32 teams fills 19 consecutive numbers (team photo, badge and 17 players), and stickers 1–29 cover the tournament itself: the trophy, the logo, the ball, ten stadiums on 20 stickers, the poster and the mascot Zakumi. ColleX lists all 640 in the checklist below, filterable by team. How the album is numbered (checklist from cartophilic-info-exch, cross-checked against the 2010 World Cup squads on Wikipedia on 8 November 2026): • 00 — Fair Play, 000 — Panini stamp; • 1–5 — trophy, two-part logo, emblem, ball; • 6–25 — the stadiums, two stickers each: Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg (two grounds, 10–13), Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Rustenburg, Pretoria; • 26–29 — slogan, two-part poster, mascot Zakumi (29); • Group A: South Africa 30–48, Mexico 49–67, Uruguay 68–86, France 87–105; • Group B: Argentina 106–124, Nigeria 125–143, Korea Republic 144–162, Greece 163–181; • Group C: England 182–200, USA 201–219, Algeria 220–238, Slovenia 239–257; • Group D: Germany 258–276, Australia 277–295, Serbia 296–314, Ghana 315–333; • Group E: Netherlands 334–352, Denmark 353–371, Japan 372–390, Cameroon 391–409; • Group F: Italy 410–428, Paraguay 429–447, New Zealand 448–466, Slovakia 467–485; • Group G: Brazil 486–504, Korea DPR 505–523, Côte d'Ivoire 524–542, Portugal 543–561; • Group H: Spain 562–580, Switzerland 581–599, Honduras 600–618, Chile 619–637; • 638 — the World Cup trophy. Panini printed the album before the final 23-man squads were due on 1 June 2010 — Italian press described the finished album on 13 April 2010 — so the 17 players per team were Panini's own pick. Several were not in the final squads and did not play at the 2010 World Cup: England's David Beckham (190) and Rio Ferdinand (186, who withdrew injured after the squad was named), Germany's Michael Ballack (268), Nigeria's John Obi Mikel (135) and Portugal's Nani (557). England's 19 stickers also include Theo Walcott (196), who was left out of the squad, while Germany's Thomas Müller, who did play at the tournament, has no sticker in the base album. The Messi sticker is number 122; Cristiano Ronaldo is 559. What the 640 leave out. Panini issued update stickers for players missing from the album — 80 of them, according to the collector shop Stickerpoint — and regional extras such as Coca-Cola promotional stickers; neither belongs to the base numbering, so they are not part of this set on ColleX. Card products such as Panini Adrenalyn XL, the tournament's trading card game, are separate as well. For the current tournament see Panini World Cup 2026, 980 stickers for 48 teams, and its full 980-sticker checklist. Tracking it on ColleX. Until collectors add sticker photos, the page shows a grid of numbers: the team filter opens one team's 19 stickers, «Tournament» and «Stadiums» the 32 stickers about the event itself (00, 000, 1–29 and 638). “Have” and “Want” marks feed a running count out of 640 and a list of collectors whose spares cover your gaps. Player names follow the 2010 squad spellings with diacritics (Özil, Škrtel, Vidić), and the errors of the widely copied online checklist are fixed, including stickers 473 (Marek Čech) and 476 (Vladimír Weiss), which it left out.
