Christmas Gift Of The Year - 2024
Let’s start out with Unisport’s ‘Christmas Gift Of The Year’ for 2024 - cause why not? This year’s Christmas Gift Of The Year’ is (drum roll, please)... The adidas Football Training Champions League 2024/25!
The adidas Football Training Champions League 2024/25 is the perfect present for any football lover.

It is made with a bladder of butyl, and a durable TPU material for a soft bounce and high durability. With a design similar to the official UCL Match Mall, the receiver of this football will feel like all the biggest football stars in Europa, who are playing UEFA Champions League - thus it’s an ideal Christmas gift for all aspiring champions.
Gift Ideas For Football Fans
Talking Christmas gift ideas for a football supporter or fan, the choices are many. But we have picked out what we think are the most obvious, popular and great gift ideas for The Loyal Supporter below.
Football shirts
The latest football shirt from the loyal supporter’s favourite club is always a winner. At Unisport, we offer the latest football shirts from the biggest football clubs all over the world. It is worth noticing that we only offer official football shirts - so you can be 100% sure that you are giving a shirt made of quality and similar to those at the clubs’ official stores.
For the top clubs, you can even find football shirts similar to those worn by the professional players on pitch - just look for “Vapor” or “Authentic” in the name. You should be aware of these shirts having a slimmer fit, but they use premium materials, offering a step up from regular fan shirts.
If you are not looking for the latest football shirts, or maybe prefer to save a little bit of money, we also got some great deals on football shirts from past seasons in our overview of football shirts on sale.
Tip: You can personalise football shirts with a name and number on the back here at Unisport. Adding print is always popular, and adds a special touch. You can add the recipient’s own name or his/her favourite player’s name, and for the biggest clubs and players, we offer official prints identical to those worn by the professional players - just look for ‘Original’ next to the player’s name.
Merchandise
Football merchandise is a perfect gift for any dedicated supporter, strengthening and showcasing their connection to the team they love. From football scarves to beddings, these pieces allow the loyal supporter to showcase their loyalty and feel closer to their favourite team. Today the choices are endless with more and more merchandise and badge related items available. A good way to start is to decide what club the item should be related to - so should it be Arsenal Merchandise, Liverpool FC Merchandise or some third club merchandise?
Gift Ideas For Kids
Christmas is often a special time for kids. They are all excited by the Christmas lights, family gatherings and, obviously, presents under the tree. Nothing beats a kid’s eyes, when they unwrap a Christmas gift - so we’re here to help make this Christmas extra special with the perfect gift for the young football player and fan - also known as The Football Kid.
Football Boots For Kids
A new pair of football boots is always a good Christmas present for kids. There are several reasons to why a new pair of boots could be the perfect gift;
- The current pair of football boots is worn out
- The kid’s feet have grown to a bigger size
- The kid got a new favourite player, he/she would like to imitate when playing
So if one of these reasons are why you’re here - then we advise you to visit our selection of football boots for kids.
If you want to narrow down our huge assortment of football boots for kids, we have divided it into different categories. Here are a few of the different categories we've created; kids football boots with socks, Nike football boots for kids, adidas football boots for kids or indoor shoes for kids.
Football Shirts For Kids
If you, or your kid, is a fan of a specific club, then a safe choice is to get a football shirt. And luckily for you, Unisport have one of the worlds biggest assortments of football shirts for kids. We got all the biggest and most popular clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Inter Miami.
Looking at kids shirts, you should be aware of the different sizes, as there are baby football kits, mini football kits and kids football shirts - ageing from baby to teenagers. Speaking about that, let’s jump to our next idea for a Christmas gift for kids.
Baby Football Kits and Mini Football Kits
Baby kits and Mini kits are the perfect gift choice for all parents, uncles and the likes who wish to influence the babies and young kids' choice of a favourite club at a very early age. Have your young family member represent your favourite club in the cutest way possible. Pick among clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and many more. The kits consist of shirts and shorts, and sometimes socks as well. The Baby-Kits are made for babies, while Mini-Kits are made for kids in the age above babies. You won’t find it cuter than this.
Gift Ideas For Her
Women's football is getting more and more popular, and we can’t lie, WE LOVE IT..! This is also why the big brands are releasing more football products for women than ever before, and this year's Christmas season is no different.
So are you looking for a gift for The Football Queen, then Unisport, and more specifically this section, is the right place for you to get the big overview.
Football Boots For Women
Unisport have one of the worlds greatest selections of football boots for women, from all the biggest brands, all the most latest models, in all colorways and in all price ranges. Just have a look at our football boots for women section. Particularly PUMA are offering high quality football boots with a specific fit for women - so please check out our selection of PUMA football boots.
Tip: Almost all football boots are unisex models, which means they are also fitting women well - just bear in mind the sizes are unisex/men's sizes. So don’t steer away from regular football boots, if you are looking for football boots for women.
Training Wear For Women
Women’s training wear makes an excellent Christmas gift for women who value fitness, comfort, and style - no matter if she loves football or not. For those who love football, a supportive sports bra is a great choice, perfect for training or matches - and equally suited for gym workouts or yoga. Women’s tights are another great option, ideal for any workout from yoga to high-intensity training. Finally, a pair of women’s running shoes makes a thoughtful gift, especially for those who want to stay in shape during the off-season or enjoy running year-round.
Football shirts For Women
Is it instead a womens football shirt you are searching for, then we are also the place to be. Offering football shirts is in our DNA, so here at Unisport you get to pick shirts made for women from the biggest and most popular clubs and national teams all over the world - including the clubs, who are really big in women’s football, such as FC Barcelona, Chelsea and Olympique Lyon.
Tip: Regular fan shirts are unisex, which means they are also usable for women. Just consider the sizes are a bit bigger than usual women’s sizes.
Gift Ideas For Him
So what do you give the dad, who pretty much has everything? Don’t worry… We have you covered with some great ideas, all perfectly suited for The Football Dad.
Some of the Christmas gift ideas mentioned earlier, such as football shirts or merchandise, are also good ideas for The Football Dad. But if they are not exactly what you are looking for - then here are some other great ideas for Christmas gifts.
Winter Jackets
As temperatures drop, a winter jacket becomes a must-have, making it a thoughtful and practical Christmas gift that combines warmth, comfort, and style. It’s ideal for chilly commutes or enjoying outdoor football matches, such as supporting the kids playing, or watching the favourite team play from the stands. Our selection includes Nike winter jackets and adidas winter jackets - and no matter what you choose, a winter jacket is a gift that shows you care about keeping The Football Dad comfortable all season long.
Badged Clothing
Who doesn’t love showing support for their favorite team every day? Football dads certainly do! If he can’t or doesn’t want to wear a football shirt all the time, badged lifestyle wear offers a perfect way to incorporate his team pride into his daily wardrobe. Or, if he’s not a fan of the latest football shirts from his favourite club, badged training wear is a good alternative. They are often extremely popular, as they offer another style than regular football shirts.
Underwear and Socks
Underwear and socks - a classic Christmas gift that’s both practical and thoughtful, bringing a daily reminder of his favourite sport or team to The Football Dad. We offer everyday socks and underwear from top brands, including Nike underwear and New Balance socks. And if he is a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, we got the perfect Christmas gift, as we offer CR7 underwear and CR7 socks, Cristiano Ronaldo’s own brand. For some club’s fans, we even have options like Liverpool FC socks and underwear. These gifts will add a touch of football spirit to The Football Dad’s routine, with items he’ll enjoy and use every day.
Gift Ideas For Lifestyle
At Unisport, we value looking good on pitch, but also off the pitch. Thus we want to support those who might not be interested in football gear, but more interested in sporty and stylish everyday wear. Please see below, what we believe are great choices for The Style Icon.
Sneakers
Sneakers make a fantastic Christmas gift, adding new style to any wardrobe. Over the past decade, they’ve come to play a bigger and bigger role in the outfit, thus becoming key to showcasing personal style. At Unisport, you’ll find a range of options from adidas sneakers, New Balance sneakers and Asics sneakers - just to name a few brands. Add products for sneaker care, such as cleaning sets and protecting sprays, for a thoughtful finishing touch that’s sure to impress.
Check out a handpicked sample of popular sneakers from adidas, New Balance and Asics below.
Everyday wear
As mentioned above, we believe in looking good on and off the pitch, and our wide range of everyday apparel makes for fantastic Christmas gifts. Essentials like T-shirts are a sure winner, perfect for layering or wearing year-round. Hoodies and sweatshirts are also favourites, providing warmth and a relaxed fit for lounging or casual outings. In addition to top brands, our Unisportlife collection brings a sporty edge to lifestyle wear with unique designs.
Tech Fleece
Tech Fleece lifestyle wear makes a perfect Christmas gift for just about anyone, offering modern style, warmth, and lightweight comfort.

Nike Tech Fleece is especially popular, and PUMA’s new PUMATECH collection adds a fresh option. Give the gift of warmth and style this holiday season with Tech Fleece - a go-to choice for anyone who values comfort and fashion.
Gift Ideas For Goalkeepers
The goalkeeper is one of the most essential players on the field. While they may not cover as much ground, those key moments when quick reflexes are needed can change the game’s outcome. That’s why top-quality equipment is a must for The Goalkeeper Boss.
Goalkeeper Gloves
Goalkeeper gloves are an ideal Christmas gift for any goalie, as they are the most important piece of equipment. A fresh pair of high-quality gloves ensures better grip, comfort, and performance, and it can mean the difference between a game-changing save or an opponent’s goal. With our range of top brands, such as adidas goalkeeper gloves and PUMA goalkeeper gloves, and specialists in goalie gloves, such as Reusch goalkeeper gloves and Uhlsport goalkeeper gloves - you can definitely find something suitable for The Goalkeeper Boss.
Tip: If you want to add something that can extend the last of the goalkeeper gloves, please check out the goalkeeper glove glu.
Goalkeeper Clothing
Goalkeepers also need some specific training wear, that is unlike outfield player gloves, as they need more protection when throwing themselves to the ground to make saves. Thus most goalkeeper trousers and shorts are made with pads of cushioning - and the same goes for goalkeeper shirts.
Tip: If the receiver have a favourite club, than a goalkeeper fan shirt from that club could be worth considering.
Gift Ideas For Indoor Football
Christmas means winter - and winter means indoor football season. And just like outdoor play, wearing the right equipment is crucial. If you're unsure why, check out our indoor guide. Whether it's futsal, freestyle, or regular indoor football, the products we’ve highlighted are perfect for any type of indoor game. Dive into our gift ideas for The Freestyle Champ.
Indoor shoes
The key to enjoying indoor football is the right footwear: indoor shoes. Football boots or sneakers won’t do; only indoor shoes provide the grip and comfort needed. At Unisport, we offer a wide range of indoor shoes from the biggest brands, including adidas indoor shoes and Nike indoor shoes, but we also offer Joma indoor shoes, who are the experts in indoor shoes. For guidance on choosing the perfect pair as a Christmas gift, check out our indoor guide. We also have a selection of freestyle shoes if that's what you're after.
Indoor footballs
While the right footwear is crucial for indoor football, becoming a Freestyle Champ requires hours of practice - and all you, at the end of the day, really need to practise is a... Football! At Unisport, we offer all sorts of footballs, but for indoor play, we recommend using indoor footballs or futsal footballs, as they are specially designed for the surface. There are key differences between regular footballs, indoor, and futsal balls, and you can learn more in our - you might have guessed it - indoor guide, to help you choose the right one.
Gift Ideas For Training
Looking for a gift for a Training Freak? We’ve got you covered with a selection of carefully chosen products for both outdoor and indoor training. These gifts are perfect for footballers who see off-season and gym sessions as key to their performance, but also great for anyone who loves to stay in shape.
Running shoes
Running shoes make the perfect Christmas gift for The Training Freak, providing the foundation for any workout. Whether it’s outdoor running, trail exploration, or indoor gym sessions, we’ve got the right shoes for every need. Explore the top brands like Nike running shoes, including the popular Nike Pegasus, or New Balance running shoes, including their innovative New Balance Fresh Foam, and many more brands. Give the gift of motivation this holiday season with a pair of running shoes.
Training Wear
Now that we’ve covered footwear, let’s move on to training wear - another essential for The Training Freak. There are plenty to choose from here at Unisport, including training shorts, training trousers, training shirts (both long sleeve and short sleeve), tracksuits, and we could go on and on... We recommend you to discover the assortment yourself, as we are quite sure that you will find something to put under this year’s Christmas tree.
Baselayer
If you’re not going for an outer layer this Christmas, consider a baselayer as the gift instead. Baselayer keeps the body dry and comfortable while offering excellent mobility. It’s great for both outdoor and indoor training, but make sure to choose the right thickness and fabric. To help, we’ve created an overview of baselayer to stay warm and baselayer to keep cool, depending on your needs.
Neck Warmers
Now this is a classic… A neck warmer is a must-have for any training freak or footballer, making it a perfect gift for the season. Essential for staying warm during outdoor training, and helping prevent colds. Nike has specialised in training and running neck warmers, and their popular Nike Snoods have been a top choice year after year. Be sure to look for them when browsing neck warmers this Christmas.
Player Gloves
Player gloves are, like neck warmers, an essential gift for The Training Freak. While they might not be the first thing you think of for Christmas, they’re sure to be a hit. Not only do they keep hands warm, but they also provide extra grip during the cold, slippery months - whether you're doing a gym session outside or playing football. They’re the perfect addition to complete any training outfit!
