M&S is giving out free Panini football stickers to collect for UEFA EURO 2024

Football fans can get themselves some free Panini stickers this summer after M&S teamed up with the sticker album company.

As we gear up for the UEFA EURO 2024, the retailer is giving away a free pack of the stickers for every £20 spent in the Foodhall.

Shoppers will be given stickers for the home nation of their store, with packs available for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It's also selling albums for £3 for people to put the stickers in.

These are 'packed with quizzes, facts on your national heroes and their favourite M&S Eat Well food products as well as nutritional advice for budding footballers'.

There’s 50 in each album to collect, made up of men and women's players, managers and of course the all-important shinies.

M&S is billing its Panini partnership as 'worthy of Shearer and Sheringham – circa 1996' and shoppers are already getting excited about the stickers, which arrived in stores from May 7.

"I need you to take me to M&S Foodhall please," said one shopper on the M&S Facebook page. "Fine reason to start food shopping at Marks," said another.

The retailer said: "Each home nation has their own album and stickers, all you have to do to collect is spend £20 in store to get a free pack of four stickers. Spend £40 and you get two packs… you get the gist. So dribble on down to your nearest Foodhall from May 7 to start collecting. And don’t forget to check Facebook for your local store and start swapping with fellow M&S shoppers in your local area. Just post on their page what you have got, got and need and swap away."
