Buying American football equipment in Europe used to mean expensive US imports, long shipping times, and surprise customs fees. Not anymore. Reyrr Athletics has made it simple for players across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Finland, Czech Republic, Poland, and beyond to gear up with premium football equipment — shipped fast, with no customs headaches.
The Challenge of Getting Football Gear in Europe
American football is one of the fastest-growing sports in Europe. The Swedish Superserien, German GFL, Spanish LNFA, and dozens of national leagues are thriving. But unlike basketball or soccer, football requires specialized equipment that most European sports shops simply don't stock. Players have traditionally faced two options: order from the US (expensive shipping, customs duties, long wait times) or settle for whatever limited stock local shops carry.
What Equipment Do You Need?
Here's a complete checklist of essential football equipment, whether you're playing tackle or flag:
Tackle Football Essentials
- Helmet — The most important piece. NOCSAE-certified helmets from Riddell, Schutt, or Xenith. Browse our helmet collection.
- Shoulder Pads — Position-specific protection. The Xenith Velocity² is our top pick for all-position versatility.
- Girdle/Padded Shorts — Hip, thigh, and tailbone protection. Choose from the McDavid Rival or McDavid Hex Thudd.
- Mouthguard — Mandatory in all leagues. The Reyrr Hexa-Vent requires no boiling and delivers maximum breathability.
- Gloves — Receivers and defensive backs need sticky gloves. The Reyrr ZERO with GripTech technology delivers unbeaten grip.
- Football — For practice and games. Wilson is the gold standard, from the Duke NFL to youth-sized GST TDY options.
Flag Football Essentials
- Gloves — Grip matters even more in flag. The Reyrr ZERO works perfectly.
- Mouthguard — Increasingly required in competitive flag leagues.
- Arm Sleeves — Protect against turf burns with Reyrr Compression Arm Sleeves.
- Towel — Keep hands dry for better ball control. Try the Reyrr Gameday Towel Skill.
