Football tracksuits

The anthem jacket and the pre-match outfit

Before kick-off, players walk onto the pitch and listen to the anthems in a specific jacket, the anthem jacket, or Anthem by adidas. Designed to be seen, it often features strong graphic codes, inspired by the archives of the national team, such as the OG Anthem jackets of Italy, Argentina, or Spain for the 2026 World Cup. It stands out from the classic tracksuit jacket with its tailored fit and more refined finishes.

The prematch top, or warm-up top, is worn during the warm-up on the pitch, half an hour before the match. It is lighter and more technical, designed for intense effort. The tracksuit jackets of national teams, like those from Brazil, Algeria, the Netherlands, or France, accompany travel and press conferences.

Training ranges

Each sports brand offers a training range found at all its clubs. At adidas, the Tiro line, recognizable by its stripes and tapered trousers at the ankles, outfits the training sessions of Real Madrid, Juventus, or Bayern Munich, with more technical versions for players and simpler ones for fans. The training tops with zip collars, like those from Real Madrid or Chelsea, are worn over the shirt during sessions in cool weather.

The training materials prioritise polyester meshes that wick away sweat, and the winter versions, known as Therma-Fit by Nike or Winterized by adidas, feature a brushed lining that retains heat. The tapered tracksuit bottoms, now the norm, allow for movement and don’t catch on the studs.

Tech Fleece and Woven: two materials

The Nike Tech Fleece, launched in 2013, has reinvented fleece by placing a thin layer of foam between two layers of cotton jersey. The resulting fabric is lighter, warmer, and neater than classic fleece, with a smooth surface both inside and out. It has established itself as suitable for both city and sport, and clubs like FC Barcelona offer it in their colours.

The Woven, on the other hand, refers to a woven fabric rather than a knitted one: the threads cross at right angles, resulting in a fine, less stretchy, and very windproof material, often slightly water-resistant. The Puma Woven tracksuits provide a lightweight fit, ideal for warming up in windy weather and for the city, in the spirit of 1990s tracksuits.

Sizes and fits

Players' tracksuits are cut close to the body, with tapered sleeves and legs, while lifestyle versions have a straighter cut. Between two sizes, the larger one is often more comfortable for training trousers, and an anthem jacket is often worn slightly loose. Children’s sizes are based on height rather than age, and young fans can find tracksuits of their favourite clubs, such as those from Bayern Munich or Ajax, in their size.

Nike Tech, Puma Woven and the rest of football

Two pages bring together the flagship materials:

• Nike Tech, the fleece with a foam layer available in jackets and trousers.
• Puma Woven, the tracksuits in lightweight woven fabric that is windproof.

The club and national team jerseys are in the teams, the printing allows for customization, and the juniors outfit young players. The teamwear outfits clubs, the equipment gathers the gear, and the shoes and the goalkeepers category complete the universe, all found on the football page.

New arrivals and good deals

The new arrivals showcase the latest tracksuits, the promotions display previous collections, and the items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The good deals, clearance sales, sales, and the Black Friday have their football page.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Anthem jacket?

The Anthem jacket, or anthem jacket by adidas, is worn by players during the anthems before kick-off. Designed to be seen, it features strong graphic codes, often inspired by the archives of the national team.

What size football tracksuit should I choose?

The training tracksuits of the clubs are often cut close to the body, with tapered trousers. To wear it daily with more ease, take the size above your usual size.

How to choose a football tracksuit for a child?

Children’s sizes are listed by age or in centimeters: rely on the height of the child rather than their age. A zippered or elasticated trouser bottom keeps a good fit, even with a bit of extra length.

Tech Fleece or Woven tracksuit: what's the difference?

The Tech Fleece is a technical, warm, and lightweight fleece that can be worn in the city as well as during training in cool weather. The Woven is a woven fabric, thin and windproof, which protects from the air without providing warmth.

How to wash a football tracksuit?

Wash it at thirty degrees, with zippers closed and inside out, without fabric softener that alters the technical materials. Air dry it, as the tumble dryer damages heat-pressed logos and elastic bands.
