We have no doubt that this edition of the Copa America will be historic, and we want to help all fans record their emotions and memories forever with this great album.”
There are 440 stickers total, with 20 being exclusives to this set. An additional photograph of each national team’s shield and a group shot of the whole squad will round it off.
