Custom Football Girdles
ZipaSports manufactures custom football girdles in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Programmes and academies order girdles by the squad so every player has padding in the same position under the game pant.
The base is a 260 GSM nylon-spandex compression short with five sewn pockets positioned over the hips, tailbone and both thighs, each cut to hold a closed-cell EVA insert without letting it rotate. Pockets close with a hook-and-loop flap so pads come out for laundering, and the leg openings are finished with a bonded silicone gripper that stops the girdle riding up under a game pant. Waistband is a 40 mm covered elastic with the club mark jacquard-woven or printed. Pad density and coverage are built to the specification supplied; we do not claim certified impact protection.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Football Girdles — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom football girdles?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are football girdles made from?
260 GSM nylon-spandex compression base; five EVA pad pockets with hook-and-loop flaps; 40 mm covered elastic waistband; bonded silicone leg grippers. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Should the girdle be sized to the waist or to the pant?
Size to the waist and take the compression fit into account, because a girdle that is too large lets the pads travel. Most programmes order true to waist measurement and go one size down only if a player prefers a very firm compression feel.
Can pads be removed before laundering?
Yes, that is the reason the pockets close with hook-and-loop flaps rather than being sewn shut. Programmes running garments through an industrial laundry pull the foam first, because commercial wash temperatures and extraction cycles degrade EVA far faster than the fabric.
How do the leg grippers behave under a game pant?
The silicone is bonded in a broken band rather than a continuous strip, so it holds against the skin without creating a tight ring. That stops the girdle rolling up the thigh when a player pulls a tight game pant over the top.
How much do custom football girdles cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
