Generations of soccer fans across the world have cherished their sticker collections, but until now only international tournaments in women's football have been celebrated by Panini.
However, a licensing partnership with the FA means a new collection of nearly 350 stickers will be available, including the sought-after shinies.
"We are thrilled to announce our relationship with Panini, a brand that is synonymous with football worldwide," said Sue Campbell, the FA's Director of Women's Football.
The WSL enjoyed a 170% rise in attendances last season and the trend is predicted to continue.
