Core offering

Soccer Master is a soccer specialty retailer that sells cleats, footwear, fan jerseys, soccer apparel, balls, goalkeeper equipment, and team uniforms to individual players, families, and soccer organizations. It operates through physical retail stores in the St. Louis / U.S. Midwest region and an online storefront that has been integrated with the Soccer.com e-commerce platform after the April 2025 acquisition by Sports Endeavors, LLC.

Product overview

Soccer Master was a Midwest-based soccer retailer offering physical store locations and an online e-commerce platform. In April 2025, Soccer Master was acquired by Sports Endeavors, LLC (parent company of Soccer.com and WorldSoccerShop). The acquisition integrated Soccer Master's retail operations with Soccer.com's broader product portfolio, which includes soccer cleats and footwear, fan jerseys and gear, soccer apparel, soccer balls and equipment, goalkeeper products, and team uniform customization services. Soccer Master stores continue to operate under the combined entity, while the online brands were integrated into the Soccer.com platform.
