Football Gifts For a 9 Year Old Boy or Girl

Welcome to my blog, where we explore the best football gifts for boys and girls! As a mum with eight years of experience navigating the exciting world of football with my twin boys and teenage daughter, I’ve seen firsthand what sparks joy and passion in young players. Whether you’re looking for the perfect present to celebrate a birthday, holiday, or just to inspire your little athletes, I’m here to share ideas that will score big with your kids. Let’s dive in and find that winning gift!

Customisable Mini Football

So my twin boys actually got this for their 9th birthday and absolutely loved it as a football gift! This football gift kept them busy colouring and perfect for kicking around the house as its light and soft.. (So no broken t.v’s)

Football Stars Guess Who

Now my kids love guess who in my house, to have it football themed is an added bonus! I think this would be a perfect football gift for Christmas or birthday.

Tabletop Football Game

This football game goes down really well for my daughter and my boys. I would recommend getting this as a football gift for your 9 year old boy or girl.

Football Goal

This is the exact football goal we have in our garden, its easy to assemble, its tested all weathers, and just a great all round goal and not too pricey… If you haven’t got one all ready its a must have for any little or big footballer!

Rebounder Net

This rebounder net is loved by my daughter who plays in goal, the twin boys also like having a go too! We’ve had this particular one for about four years now, so very good value for money!

Training Equipment

If they are a keen footballer, then training equipment will be a great gift for Christmas or their birthday. My three have this in the garden on a regular basis!

Grip Socks

So if you haven’t seen these yet, this is something quite new to the football world, the kids love them and myself as a mum, I actually quite like them too! What they do is wear these accompanied with a sock sleeve (see below), its a new trend, but they are easier to put on than a full football sock.. A nice little stocking filler or birthday little extra!

Football Sleeves

Above I have explained the grip socks, these are the football sleeves that you slide over the grip socks and slip the shin pad inside. They come in all different colours and the kids love them!

Football Pop up Goals

A pop up football goal is great fun, they can have it in the house, in the garden, down the park or even take to a friends house.. We have one and it’s another football gift win in our house!

Grey Football Bedding

Both my boys had this duvet set for their birthday, they absolutely loved it! It’s double sided and washes great! I think this would be perfect in a boy or girls bedroom, i have another example below:

Colourful Football bedding

This is the bedding my daughter had one Christmas at around 9 years old, it was a big hit. I think this could work in a boys or a girls room. Again washes well and its just a great football gift!

Super Soft Football Blanket

All three (boys and girl) have this blanket and it’s super, super soft!

Perfect as a birthday or Christmas football gift!

Football Light

Another item that has gone down well with the boys and my girl in our house as a football gift. It changes colours, it’s football themed, what’s not to love!
