Private football sales: shirts, goalkeeper and lifestyle

What is a private sale on Foot-Store?

A Foot-Store private sale is a limited-time promotional event, exclusive to subscribers of our newsletter, that provides access to a selection of football items at discounted prices before they're available to everyone. It doesn’t cover the entire catalogue but focuses on a choice of products, often collections from clubs and national teams that are at the end of their cycle. Essentially, you sign up for the newsletter, receive the launch notification, and then shop on this page during the sale period.

What can you find in football private sales?

The selection for private sales concentrates on supporter outfits and goalkeeper equipment: shirts, shorts, socks, t-shirts, and goalkeeper gloves. Goalkeeper shirts from European clubs and national selections are very common, available in both short and long sleeves, along with shorts and socks that complete the outfit. Children’s sizes are significant, allowing you to dress a young goalkeeper from head to toe without waiting for sales. The brands in the selection include Nike, adidas, Hummel, and Team Merchandise, depending on the collections involved in the event.

Shoes, teams, goalkeepers: the private sale pages

The private sales are divided into sub-pages, so you can go straight to what you're looking for without scrolling through the entire selection:

• The shoes, to find a football pair or indoor pair when you already know your size.
• The teams, the page to open if you're looking for a specific club or national team shirt.
• The lifestyle, for pieces worn off the pitch, t-shirts, and everyday clothing.
• The teamwear, to check when you're looking for training outfits or pieces to match for multiple players.
• The goalkeepers, the most extensive page of the event, with shirts, shorts, socks, and gloves dedicated to the position.
• The juniors, for children’s sizes, which go quickly because a young player changes size every season.
• The equipment, for everything that goes with the outfit rather than the clothing itself.
• The balls, if you're taking advantage of the sale to renew a training ball or a playtime ball.

Supporter version or player version: what to choose in a private sale?

The supporter version is the cut designed to be worn in the stands or daily, while the player version has a fitted cut used on the field. A goalkeeper shirt in the supporter version hangs more loosely and layers more easily, which is suitable for everyday use. The player version, closer to the body, is of particular interest to those who actually play the position and want the same cut as in the match. In private sales, both versions can coexist within the same collection: check the product title, which specifies the version, sleeve length, and type of outfit.

How to buy a goalkeeper outfit during a private sale?

The simplest way is to start with the complete outfit rather than just the shirt, as the shorts and socks from the same collection may not always be available for long. First, check the size: children’s and adult collections look similar visually, and the product title indicates whether it’s a junior or adult piece. Next, think about the sleeve length, as goalkeeper shirts come in short and long sleeves depending on the collection and season of origin. Finally, if you're equipping a goalkeeper who plays, complete with goalkeeper gloves and accessories, the page that gathers everything related to the position outside the private sale period.

Private sales, sales, destocking: when is the best time to buy?

Private sales are not the only opportunity to buy cheaper on Foot-Store, and several pages remain open all year. The good deals page gathers the current offers, and the destocking page groups together previous season collections that are finishing their run in the catalogue. The special offers work through occasional events, and the products shipped in 24h are useful when you need an outfit quickly.

In terms of timing, the key moments follow a relatively stable order. The Black Friday kicks off the period, followed by the end-of-year holiday shopping, with the Christmas page serving to find a football-related gift idea. The winter sales take over, followed by the French Days in spring and the summer sales. The new season preparation leans towards the new arrivals and the Back To Club page, as the season collections come in.

What to look for on the site outside of private sales?

Outside of promotional periods, the main pages of the site provide access to the full catalogue. The football shoes and the supporters’ shop cover the two most common searches, a pair of boots and the club shirt. To equip a young player, the children’s page gathers junior sizes, and the women’s page features feminine cuts. Managers and coaches typically go through the club shop and the club space to dress a whole team, while the lifestyle page and the equipment page complete the full gear off the pitch and for training.

Frequently asked questions

How do you access Foot-Store private sales?

Foot-Store private sales are reserved for subscribers of the site’s newsletter: signing up is the only requirement to receive the launch announcement. Once the operation is open, you shop directly from the private sales page and its sub-pages, just like the rest of the site. Outside these periods, the good deals remain accessible to everyone.

Where can you find cheap football shoes during private sales?

The pairs concerned by the operation are grouped on the football private sales shoes page, which mixes field models and indoor models. If your size isn't listed, the destocking option offers pairs from previous collections outside the promotional period. The complete page of football shoes remains the reference to compare models before making your decision.

Are there club shirts on sale for children?

Yes, children’s sizes are part of the private sales and are gathered on the juniors page. Junior goalkeeper shirts from clubs and national selections are well represented there, often with matching shorts. As a child changes size from one season to the next, it's better to check the size indicated on the product sheet rather than use the one from the previous year.

When do price cuts start on football items?

Price drops follow the retail calendar: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, sales in winter and summer, and French Days in spring. Private sales take place ahead of these key moments, as they introduce the selection to subscribers before everyone else. The ends of sporting seasons are also a good time, as club collections make way for new ones.

What is the difference between private sales, sales, and destocking?

Private sales focus on a limited selection and are reserved for newsletter subscribers for a short duration. The sales are legal periods open to everyone, on dates set by the French retail calendar. The destocking is not tied to a specific period: it continuously gathers articles from past collections still in the catalogue.
