Gift ideas for a football fan: the 2026 Christmas guide

A jersey is the gift a football fan keeps for years. As long as you get three things right: the right club or the right era, the right size, and an order placed in time. Here are our ideas for every kind of fan, and everything you need to know to get it under the tree.

For the club supporter: the 2026/27 jersey

The safe bet. The current season's jersey, the one the players wear this weekend, always goes down well with a supporter. It costs €59.90.

• Ligue 1: PSG, Marseille, Lyon, RC Lens, OGC Nice, Stade Rennais and every Ligue 1 club.
• Europe's biggest clubs: Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Juventus or AC Milan.
• Further afield: Galatasaray, Al Nassr, Inter Miami and our other clubs.

Home or away? The home jersey, in the club's historic colours, is the classic choice. If they already have it, the away jersey will make the difference.

For the nostalgic fan: a retro jersey

Do they still talk about Papin, Zidane in 1998 or Ronaldo at Inter? Give them the jersey from that era. These are retro reproductions: the colours and details of the original designs, recently made. Each jersey costs €54.90.

• Marseille 1990/91 home, the season of Papin and Waddle.
• France 1998 home, Zidane #10, or the away version.
• France 1982 home, Platini #10, for those who lived through Seville.
• FC Barcelona 1997/98, Rivaldo's first season.
• Inter Milan 1997/98 third, Ronaldo #10.
• Real Madrid 1999/00 and Napoli 1986/87, the season of their first title with Maradona.

An idea that always hits home: the jersey from the season they started following football. To choose, our article on the 20 most iconic football shirts of the 90s tells the story behind each one. Browse every model in our retro jerseys.

For fans of national teams

The France 2026 home jersey and its away version cost €59.90. For fans of another national team, we also have England, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Morocco, Algeria and Senegal in our national teams.

For a Messi fan, the Argentina 2026 farewell edition #10 jersey pays tribute to his international farewell. It costs €79.90.

The detail that changes everything: name and number

In November, name and number printing is free, with no minimum purchase: the discount is applied automatically.

With a name and a number on the back, the jersey becomes theirs. A few ideas:

• Their first name and a number that matters: their year of birth, the number they wear at their club, or the date you met.
• Their favourite player's name, with his number.
• A sleeve badge, for the finishing touch.

Before shipping, you receive a photo of the printed jersey so you can check the result. Our guide to name and number printing helps you choose.

Good to know before you order: a personalised jersey is made to order. The law excludes it from the right of withdrawal: it cannot be returned or exchanged, unless we made a mistake or it is faulty. So make sure of the size before adding a name and number.

For kids: the jersey and shorts set

For a young supporter, the full jersey and shorts set costs €49.90: PSG home or away, Marseille, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and France 2026. You'll find them all in our kids collection.

How to get the size right

The safest method: discreetly measure a jersey they already wear, laid flat, then compare it with our size guide. Our article which jersey size to choose explains the method in detail.

Not sure? Give the jersey without a name and number. You have 30 days from delivery to send it back, and a jersey without printing can be exchanged once for another size, subject to stock. Ordered in early December, it can still be exchanged after the holidays. Full conditions are on our returns and refunds page.
