Introduction
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to major US cities this year! With cultural moments as large as this one, plenty of people are going to want to feel like a part of it.
That’s where we come in as your merch-loving soccer fans. Here is what you need to be making.
Custom Soccer Balls
This isn’t just a ball, it’s both a canvas and a conversation starter. Honestly, it’s a flex too! Display it. Kick it. Both are correct answers. We made this icebreaker soccer ball for Reddit, loaded with Reddit-style questions, and people couldn't stop touching it. What would you ask your audience? Because the best merch doesn't just sit there, it gets something started.
Custom Jerseys
Jerseys aren’t worn to one event and then forgotten. They are worn to the grocery store, the airport, and anytime you want to show your favorite team some love! A custom jersey that is done right becomes the uniform of your community, and of course, your community is the whole point. Get everything right, and you will have a merch item that people want to rep without even thinking twice. And of course, that’s the goal.
Scarves
A staple of soccer culture. The scarf. It’s worn in the stands, treated like a flag, and worn to keep you warm when soccer season is long gone. It is wearable, giftable, and extremely brandable. This piece is a great way to connect your community without breaking the bank. There is something about a knitted scarf that feels like it was earned, like you have been a fan forever, even if you just started loving soccer last week.
Foosball Cooler
What is cooler than a foosball table? A foosball cooler! This is the watch party centerpiece that can go wherever you go. Let your brand score every time someone goes to grab a drink, which is often, because it is the World Cup after all! This is the product that people won't forget.

Dog Jerseys
As dog owners ourselves, we know that we would LOVE to have matching jerseys with our furry friends. Honestly, we would buy something for our dog before we buy something for ourselves. A dog in a jersey is instant social media content, kinda ridiculous, but we can’t deny it's also just ridiculously cute. The pet merch space is slowly growing, so don’t overthink it. Just make it!
Conclusion
The World Cup only happens every four years, but the community that lives around it? That lasts a long time. Let’s make merch that means something to your community and will go beyond the final game.
You bring the vision, and we'll handle the rest.
