Is a goalkeeper kit different to an outfield kit?

Yes, goalkeeper kits are designed with the unique demands of the position in mind.

Unlike outfield football shirts, goalkeeper tops often feature long sleeves and sometimes padding on the elbows and shoulders. In the ‘90s and early 2000s, padded shorts were also common (as well as some questionable designs).

Today’s kits focus more on flexibility and breathability, though some protective padding still features in many goalkeeper designs.

What kit does a goalkeeper need?

A goalkeeper typically needs a long-sleeve goalkeeper shirt, padded or non-padded shorts or trousers, and goalkeeper gloves (of course).

In cold or wet weather, thermals and base layers can be worn underneath.

For safety and comfort, a proper goalkeeper kit should allow full mobility and provide confidence when diving or blocking shots. Decathlon stocks a wide range of affordable kit options for all levels.

Do goalkeepers have to wear long-sleeve?

Goalkeepers aren’t required to wear long-sleeve tops, but many prefer them for added protection and comfort during dives and collisions.

Long sleeves were once a defining feature of 'keeper kits, especially in the padded jersey era of the ‘90s.

Today, some keepers opt for short sleeves with compression undershirts, but long sleeves remain a practical choice in most weather and pitch conditions.
