Football Word Art Print — How to Personalise It and What Words to Use
Personalising a football word art print is simpler than it sounds — but staring at a blank words field can feel daunting. This guide walks you through exactly what information you need, which words work best, and how to make the print feel personal rather than generic.
What Information Do You Need?
To personalise a football word art print you’ll typically need three things:
A name — the person the print is for. First name, full name, nickname, or squad name all work.
A set of words — football-related words and phrases that mean something to that person. These fill the design.
A colour choice — most designs are available in multiple colour options. Think about their bedroom colours or their club colours.
Best Words and Phrases for a Football Print
Positions and roles: striker, goalkeeper, midfielder, defender, winger, captain, sweeper, playmaker, number nine, number ten
On the pitch: free kick, penalty, corner, offside, tackle, dribble, assist, hat-trick, clean sheet, kick-off, header, volley, nutmeg, through ball
The game: training, teamwork, dedication, passion, glory, champions, promotion, legend, hero, trophy, finals, debut, season, matchday
Personal touches: his name, his squad number, his club name, his team name, the year he started playing, a memorable season
For coaches: tactics, formation, half-time, substitute, press, possession, set piece, man of the match
Personalisation Ideas by Occasion
Birthday: Add their age or birth year. “Turning 10” or “Class of 2015” makes the print a proper keepsake.
End of season: Include the season (e.g. “2024–25”), their club name, position, and any awards — “player of the year”, “top scorer”, “most improved”.
Christmas: Stick to football words and their name — Christmas-specific additions can date the print quickly.
Leaving a club: Include the club name, years they played there, and a phrase like “always a [Club Name]”.
Retirement: Lean into legacy words — “legend”, “dedication”, “years of service”, the clubs they played for.
