Football Goals

Of course! On decathlon.com.gr you will find a massive variety of football goals for endless play. Our collection covers every need, from pop-up goals that open in seconds for the beach, to our famous line of metal goals with real corners, ideal for the garden, the park, or training in football academies.

The manufacturing materials are selected based on usage and portability: Steel/metal is used for permanent garden goals, as it offers maximum durability against powerful shots and excellent stability, while undergoing special anti-corrosion treatment to withstand weather conditions. On the other hand, plastic (PVC / ABS) is used for lightweight children's goals because it is perfectly safe for young kids, does not rust, and is very easy to transport. Finally, fiberglass is used in collapsible (pop-up) goals because it is exceptionally flexible, allowing the goal to fold down into a small transport bag.

The main differences focus on dimensions, structure, and specifications. Professional goals feature official FIFA dimensions (7.32 x 2.44m for 11x11 or 5 x 2m for 5x5), are typically constructed from high-quality heavy aluminum, include slots for permanent ground anchoring, and have thick nets that withstand daily wear and tear. On the other hand, amateur, garden, or training goals are smaller in size (1.8 x 1.2m or 3 x 2m), place emphasis on easy assembly without tools, are lighter for effortless moving, and are clearly more budget-friendly.

The choice should be made based on age and available space:
For toddlers (up to 5 years old): Opt for small, fabric pop-up goals or lightweight plastic ones. They are safe, prevent injuries, and can be set up right inside the living room.
For children aged 5 to 10 years old: A medium-sized goal (around 1.8 x 1.2m) is ideal.
For children over 10 years old and teenagers: Choose a size L metal goal (3 x 2m), which offers the feeling of a "real" match and withstands the powerful shots of older kids.

Absolutely! Decathlon's outdoor goals are engineered for maximum durability at an exceptionally affordable price. They undergo rigorous structural tests to ensure that the joints and the netting will not break. Furthermore, their special paint coating protects the metal from rust, meaning the goal can stay in the garden all year round, providing endless hours of play for years without additional expenses.

The process is straightforward as long as you follow the safety rules:
Assembly: Kipsta metal goals feature a smart button-lock system (click) with springs, so the tubes connect together within 5 minutes without needing screwdrivers or wrenches.
Attaching the net: Spread out the net starting from the top corners and secure it around the perimeter using the specific hooks/velcro strips included.
Securing (The most critical step): To prevent the goal from tipping over from a powerful shot or the wind, you must always secure it to the ground. Use the metal pegs included in the package to drive it into the grass or soil. If placing it on concrete/tiles, use special weights (sandbags) on its rear base supports for absolute safety.
