There has not been a sporting calendar quite like 2026 for some time. The European football season is reaching its crescendo, the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup is three weeks away, and the Rugby League World Cup follows in the autumn. For branded merchandise distributors, this is one of the most significant sales windows of the year – and the planning window is right now.
We have sports-themed print options available across our entire product range, with the football themed print options not only perfect for showing companies support around the FIFA World Cup but also for smaller club and grassroots occasions, fan events, and employee gifting campaigns tied to sporting moments. Everything is UK made from 100% recycled plastic, from as few as 50 units, with fast dispatch as standard.
Football Print Options
Shirt Shaped Trolley Stick Keyring – A football shirt shaped keyring with a trolley coin at one end, digitally printed in full colour to both front and back. The dual print area makes it one of the most versatile products in the range for tournament or club campaigns. Supplied with a lobster-clip attachment.
45mm Circular Keyring – A bold, round keyring with a wide print face – ideal for football, whistle, or badge-style sports artwork. Digitally printed in full colour and supplied with a split ring fitting. One of the most cost-effective options in the range for larger quantities.
3D Shirt Shaped FunKeys Keyring – A raised relief shirt shaped keyring with an intaglio mould that makes branding really stand out. Printable on one or both sides. Distinctive in the hand and on a bag – a strong choice for premium gifting or event merchandise.
Whistle – A 40mm flat whistle made from recycled plastic, digitally printed in full colour to the top face. Supplied with a ball chain fitting. Suited to football, multi-sport occasions, and events such as school sports days and club presentations.
Why UK-Made Matters for Tournament Merchandise
Lead times are one of the biggest challenges for distributors working on sports event merchandise. Products sourced from overseas can take weeks to arrive, creating risk when tournament dates are fixed. Because CHX Products manufactures in the UK, the lead times are significantly shorter. Fast dispatch is standard, and next day dispatch is also available for customers who need it – contact the sales team for details.

Plan Ahead for the Full Sporting Calendar
While the FIFA World Cup is the headline event, the wider sporting calendar offers sustained opportunity throughout the summer and into autumn. School sports days, end-of-season presentations, club events, charity fundraisers, and leisure occasions all provide moments for branded merchandise.
