Football training tops

What types of training tops can you find on this page

This category includes several families of products designed for training sessions and match-related activities: sweatshirt, jacket, tracksuit top, waterproof jacket, base layer, and down jacket. Each family is tailored for a specific use, from the simple sweatshirt worn during warm-ups to the waterproof jacket for training in the rain.

• The sweatshirt can be worn as a mid-layer or on its own depending on the season, often featuring a hood for cover before and after the effort.
• The tracksuit top complements a training outfit and is worn during warm-ups or at the end of sessions.
• The waterproof jacket protects against rain and wind during outdoor sessions.
• The down jacket provides warmth on the sidelines or during winter training.
• The base layer is worn underneath the match or training shirt to keep warm without restricting movement, a piece also found with referees.

How to choose your training top according to the season and use

The choice largely depends on when the garment will be worn: before the session, during, or on the bench. A sweatshirt is suitable for mid-season training, a waterproof jacket becomes useful as soon as it starts to rain, and a down jacket takes over when the cold really sets in. For a player who trains year-round, it's common to have several complementary pieces rather than just one that would cover all situations.

The base layer is different from the other families: it is worn underneath the match or training shirt, not over it, and is primarily used to keep warm without adding bulk.

How to complete your training outfit

A training top naturally pairs with the rest of a training outfit. You can match your top with a training shirt, a training short, or a training trouser, or even go for a pre-matched shirt-short set. The training tracksuits and accessories complete the outfit for cooler sessions. If you’re looking for a garment for running or another sport, the running and fitness page might also interest you.

Where to follow good deals on training tops

Several pages of the site gather ongoing promotions on training gear, which vary according to the time of year. The Black Friday page focuses on deals around this event, followed by end-of-year discounts and then the winter sales. In spring, the French Days take over, followed by summer sales and the release of new collections at the start of the season.

Outside of these peak times, the special training offers page and the special offers page consolidate the discounts available in the store. The end-of-line clearance allows you to find references in the final phase of their product life cycle, while the good deals page centralizes the best current offers. If you need your training top quickly, the shipped in 24h page and its training-specific counterpart, training shipped in 24h, list products available for quick fulfillment. Finally, the new arrivals and training new arrivals pages showcase the latest references in the collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sweatshirt and a training tracksuit top?

The sweatshirt is a lighter piece, often made of fleece, that can be worn alone or as a mid-layer. The tracksuit top is designed to be worn over a shirt or t-shirt, generally with a full zip closure, and often part of a matching set with trousers or shorts.

Is there a junior training top available in the same cuts as the adult version?

Some of the references in this category are available in both adult and junior cuts depending on the models, especially in the broader lines such as certain sweatshirts and tracksuit tops. Availability by size varies by reference, so you should check the product sheet of the model you are interested in.

Can a referee's base layer be worn by a player?

The base layer is designed to fit under a shirt without changing its fit, making it suitable for both a referee and a player wishing to stay warm during effort. The referee designation mainly concerns the original design of the model, not a usage restriction.

Is a waterproof jacket sufficient for winter training?

A waterproof jacket primarily protects against rain and wind, but it does not always provide as much warmth as a down jacket. In very cold conditions, it is common to layer a sweatshirt or base layer under the jacket, or to choose a down jacket directly if the training takes place outdoors for a long duration.

How can I tell if a training top corresponds to a specific club?

This page features training tops categorized by brand, without mandatory distinction by club, but some models reflect the design worn by a team. To find kits linked to a specific club, the teams page allows you to browse directly by club.
