Soccer Shorts

Home Soccer Gear Soccer Clothing Shorts

After the cleats, shorts are the most worked-in piece of a player's kit: light, technical and quick-drying, they have to follow every sprint and change of direction. Here you'll find match and training shorts from Puma, Joma, Umbro and Diadora, with or without an inner mesh brief.

With or without an inner brief?

The inner mesh brief holds the shorts in place and gives light support — handy for matches. Brief-free models are worn with the compression base of your choice, which many players prefer. It mostly comes down to personal comfort.

Match or training?

Match shorts often carry the team colours, in a clean, pocketless cut (a rule in many leagues). Training shorts frequently add pockets and tougher fabric for daily use.

What size and material?

A breathable technical fabric wicks sweat and dries fast between matches. Aim for a cut that's neither too loose nor too tight, with full range of motion. Length varies by brand — Joma runs short, Umbro longer.

Should soccer shorts have an inner brief?

What material is best for soccer shorts?

A breathable technical fabric that wicks sweat and dries fast between matches. Avoid cotton, which soaks up moisture and gets heavy. Most soccer shorts use a light polyester.
