Four footballers sued the famous publisher for exploiting their image. Panini, but also the union which delegates to the company the right to use the collective image, the UNFP, and its structure created to finance it, Promo-Foot.

At stake: knowing whether or not the French branch of the Italian company could sell these stickers. “They never authorized Panini to exploit their image” “One euro of damage would be one euro too many and would call into question this balance,” says Panini France’s lawyer.
