We have two shops — one at Spreadshirt and one at Cafépress — where you can browse our “Star of the Beautiful Game” products. All proceeds go to the not-for-profit Spirit of Football CIC and support the journey of The Ball to South Africa!
We use our shop on Spreadshirt exclusively for t-shirts. The t-shirt below is an example of the standard design. If you live in Europe, you may find this shop cheaper.
