When a World Cup rolls around every four years, collecting Panini stickers becomes every football fan's favourite pastime, and for World Cup 2022 it is no different. 

With 670 stickers to collect for the Qatar World Cup, though, it isn't a cheap expense to complete a full album. Single packs contain five stickers and cost 90p, and one researcher, Kieran Maguire, has suggested if someone managed to get every sticker at the first attempt, it would cost around £120.

However, he argues the likely cost based on probability is somewhere closer to the region of £850 to fill every sticker in the book (without someone directly buying missing stickers). 

Therefore, only for the truly dedicated is it feasible to complete an album, especially at such a great cost. There is a cheaper way to get closer to that dream of completing Panini World Cup sticker album, but it does require buying more in bulk.

Essential starter pack (31 stickers plus album) – £4.99

Essential starter pack (31 stickers plus album) – £4.99

The essential starter pack costs £4.99 at Argos, Amazon and Smyths, and contains a sticker album to place each player into once you bag them in a pack. Thirty-one stickers are also included, which, when the album is removed from the price, means each sticker only costs 16p each.

In fact, the starter pack actually offers the cheapest price per sticker out of all of the options. It does entail acquiring plenty of sticker books, though, and they could start taking up an awful lot of unnecessary space.
