Training tops for football

What is a football training top?

A training top is a technical garment worn during club sessions, warm-ups before matches or outdoor training, distinct from the match jersey. It is made from breathable and stretchy material, designed to allow for movement without restriction. On this page, you'll find models like the adidas Tiro 24 training top, its winter version for women, the Tiro 25 Competition or the Entrada 26, as well as children’s sizes.

Depending on the season and usage, a club may need several additional pieces: a lightweight top for summer training, a more covering jacket for winter, and a base layer for cold days.

Base layer, tracksuit jacket or waterproof jacket: how to choose?

The choice mainly depends on the weather and the timing of the session. The base layer, like the long-sleeve base layer adidas Techfit, is worn under the jersey or training top to retain warmth without adding bulk. The tracksuit jacket, available from adidas (Tiro range), Nike (Total 90, Premier Repel) or Kappa (Gassolo, Grevolo), is suitable for mid-season training and trips to the stadium. The waterproof jacket, like the hooded waterproof jacket adidas Tiro 24 Rain or the children’s waterproof jacket Entrada 22, protects against rain during outdoor sessions.

For clubs that train outdoors all year round, it's common to combine a lightweight training top, a base layer for winter and a waterproof jacket to keep in the bag.

When to take advantage of good deals on training tops?

Prices for training tops, base layers and jackets vary throughout the year: it's better to check the relevant sections at the right time instead of waiting for a specific item. Key periods to watch are, in order, Black Friday, the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, and then the French Days in spring. Outside of these periods, the site constantly offers useful pages to find a good deal: sales, clearance, good deals, new arrivals or even items shipped in 24 hours if you're in a hurry. For the club section specifically, there’s also a club section sales page and a club section deals page.

Frequently asked questions

What size to choose for a children's training top?

Children's training tops are generally chosen by age, as indicated on the product sheet, but it's best to check the size guide of each brand before ordering. adidas, Nike, or Kappa do not always have the same age-to-size correspondences. If in doubt between two sizes, it’s often better to choose the larger size for a growing child.

Can a compression base layer also be worn in a match?

Yes, a base layer like the long-sleeve adidas Techfit can be worn both in training and in a match under the club’s official jersey. Its fitted design minimizes fabric bulk and is suitable for cold days. However, it does not replace a training top, which is looser and designed to be worn alone.

Is a waterproof jacket needed in addition to a tracksuit jacket?

This depends on how often training takes place outdoors in the rain. A classic tracksuit jacket protects against wind and light cold, while a waterproof jacket, like the hooded waterproof jacket adidas Tiro 24 Rain, is designed to keep you dry during showers. Clubs that train outdoors all year round often benefit from having both.

Can a training top be personalized with a club's name?

Some training tops and jackets in the selection can accommodate printing, depending on the model and the option presented on the product sheet. This possibility is not systematic across all references, so it is best to verify directly on the chosen product page. Club equipment models, like the Tiro or Entrada ranges, are the most commonly involved.

What is the difference between the Tiro, Entrada and Squadra ranges?

These three adidas ranges are all designed for training or club equipment, but they differ in style and level, which can change from one collection to another. The best way to compare current models is to directly check the pages Tiro, Entrada and Squadra. The choice often depends on the club's budget and the visual effect desired.
