James is not the only one: another Colombian player appears without a team in the Panini album
James Rodríguez, who was without a team until February, was recently criticized on social media due to a particular situation: his sticker in the Panini album for the 2026 World Cup.
TL;DR
- James Rodríguez and Santiago Arias are depicted without their current teams on the 2026 World Cup Panini album stickers.
- The issue likely stems from Panini's printing schedule, which may have gone to press before the players' latest team announcements.
- Santiago Arias joined Independiente de Avellaneda in late January after being without a club.
- Paraguayan forward Ángel Romero is also reportedly shown without his club, Boca Juniors, in the album.
