Soccer Card Templates

Free printable soccer card templates — AYSO, club, ECNL, MLS Next, school, rec. U-Whatever to varsity, boys and girls. The Position field uses the global codes — GK, CB, FB, CDM, CM, CAM, W, ST — or anything you type. 2.5″ × 3.5″ trading-card size, 3.5″ × 5″ keepsake, 9-up team sheets.

Soccer is the world's sport, and the card finally reflects it. The position field accepts the global codes (GK, CB, FB, CDM, CM, CAM, W, ST) or the named version (Goalkeeper, Center Back, Outside Back, Defensive Mid, Center Mid, Attacking Mid, Winger, Striker). Use them for the U-12 club roster swap, the high school senior night, the AYSO end-of-season trophy banquet, the academy showcase team, or the parents' end-of-season group-text card-bomb.

The kit name goes in the Team field — "FC Crossfire 09 ECNL", "Blackhawk SC G2010 Premier", "Lakeside Varsity Girls", "AYSO U-10 Strikers". The PDF generates locally; no upload, no account, no watermark.

Showcase weekend kit

Cards for the college coach in the bleachers

ECNL, MLS Next, ECRL, GAL, and major college-prep showcases run on a 2-day, 4-game weekend rhythm — and the college coaches in the stands take dozens of cards home. A short list of what works at showcase weekends:

  • One Normal-size card per player, 2.5″ × 3.5″. Print a stack of 30+ per player for a 2-day showcase. The cards are the calling card — a coach in the bleachers takes one home with the kid's photo, jersey, position, club, and graduation year.
  • Position field doubles as recruiting line. Use "CB / 2027 / 5'10"" or "GK / 2026 / Lefty" — fits the band, gives the coach the three things she needs to know without flipping the card.
  • Team field for club + level. "FC Crossfire 09 ECNL" or "Blackhawks SC G2010 NPL". Tells the coach which league + which division.
  • Photo from a club portrait day, not a game. Game photos at the 2.5×3.5 size lose the player's face; a clean portrait reads at any distance.
  • Print the back too. The cards print one-sided, but you can run them through twice (plain side up the second time) to add an email, phone number, GPA, and SAT score on the back. Showcase coaches expect this.
Club banquet + recognition

Cards for the spring banquet (and a frame for the U-10-through-now coach)

Club soccer rosters often end the spring season with a banquet-and-trophies evening at a local pizza place. Print the 9-up team sheet on cardstock for parents to take home, plus one Enlarged 3.5x5 per kid for the keepsake table.

For coach gifts: a 9-up sheet with the coach in the bottom-right card slot, "Coach" in the position field, the team\'s photo from the regional tournament on the team-name banner. Frame the whole sheet (or just cut the coach\'s card out and frame that one). Each kid signs around their own photo before it\'s framed. Sentimental and zero-budget.

Frequently asked questions

What position codes work on a soccer card?
The global ones: GK (goalkeeper), CB (center back), FB / LB / RB (full back), CDM (defensive mid), CM (center mid), CAM (attacking mid), W / LW / RW (winger), ST / CF (striker / center forward). Spelled-out works too: "Center Back", "Holding Mid", "Right Back". Captain and "#10" both fit on the position line if you want both.
Are these card templates good for ECNL / MLS Next / NWSL Academy showcases?
Yes — high-level club showcase weekends are a big use case. Print a stack of Normal 2.5×3.5 cards with the player's club, position, jersey number, and graduation year (in the position field, e.g. "CB / 2027"). Players hand them to college coaches at the showcase as a calling card. The card includes the player's photo and contact info if you put it in the Team line.
Can I make cards in club colors?
Yes — the Split Halves design lets you pick a top color and a bottom color independently, so you can match a kit (Sounders FC = green and blue, Real Salt Lake = blue and red, etc.). The Classic banner accepts a single accent color. Use the kit's primary color and most cards will photograph well next to the player's actual jersey.
Are these for boys, girls, or both?
Both, all ages. Soccer cards in the US lean girls (because girls' soccer participation rates are some of the highest in any youth sport) — but boys clubs, high-school programs, and adult amateur leagues use them too. The template doesn't gender; the team and player fields do.
