The first-ever Women's Super League sticker collection has been announced.

The FA has partnered with Italian sticker company Panini for the album which will hold nearly 350 stickers.

It will feature the league's players and icons of the game and will be launched in December.

The WSL, which started in 2011, had almost 100 players representing their nations at the recent Women's World Cup - the most of any league in the world.

The Lionesses made it through to their first World Cup final this summer

The WSL has been gaining popularity in recent years and the Lionesses' victory at Euro 2022 resulted in a 170% increase in attendances last season, according to the FA.

Earlier this summer, the Lionesses made history by reaching their first World Cup final, where they finished runners-up to Spain.

Panini, who have been publishing sticker albums since 1970, first created a women's football collection for the 2011 World Cup.

Last year they launched their first women's domestic football collection for Spain's top women's league - Liga F.

As well as players and icons of the league, the new WSL sticker album will also include 12 special foil stickers - or "shinies" - from all twelve of the league's teams.

Katie Gritt from Panini said the new album was a "special moment."

"We couldn't be prouder of this collection and what it represents, the phenomenal growth and success of these incredible women," she added.
