How to Choose a Soccer Jersey Size for a Child?

Size guide: kids' football jersey from 2 to 14 years old

Giving a football jersey to a child is always a great idea – whether for a birthday, Christmas, or just to please a little fan. But choosing the right size can quickly become a headache. Should you take the exact size? A size up? Here is our complete guide to avoid making a mistake.

MDF kids' size guide

Our kids' jerseys are available in the following sizes:

  • 2-3 years: for the youngest football fans
  • 4-5 years: ideal for starting to play
  • 6-7 years: the most popular size
  • 8-9 years: for quickly growing youngsters
  • 10-11 years: almost an adult XS size
  • 12-13 years: adult equivalent XS/S
  • 13-14 years: close to adult S size

Should you take a size up?

The classic question! Football jerseys generally have a straight cut, neither too tight nor too loose. For a child who is growing fast, taking a size up will allow them to wear the jersey longer. However, if it's for playing or for a special occasion (photo, match), take the exact size for a neater look.

Our advice: for a gift, always take a size up. Children grow quickly!
