Soccer Village

What Soccer Village does

Soccer Village is a privately held U.S. soccer specialty retailer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company sells soccer uniforms, clothing, footwear, and equipment to players, coaches, referees, fans, and organized clubs through an omnichannel model that combines 12 brick-and-mortar retail stores across six states (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia) with a 24/7 nationwide e-commerce platform. Its product catalog spans over 7,000 SKUs organized into footwear (2,211 items), replica jerseys (1,948), apparel (2,062), and equipment (754), drawing primarily on authorized partnerships with Nike, adidas, PUMA, New Balance, Mizuno, and Under Armour.

The company's core differentiator is its dedicated B2B team uniform business, operated through the Team Sales Department and the Team Hub online platform, which enables clubs nationwide to manage rosters, assign numbers, and order custom uniforms through a secure web-based system. Customer segments span individual consumers (players, coaches, referees, fans) and mid-market B2B customers (organized soccer clubs and leagues), with consumer purchases typically transacted at MSRP and bulk team orders priced by quantity and customization. The Kick Back Club loyalty program offers a 10% discount to drive retention, and free shipping is provided on orders of $99 or more.

There is no proprietary technology layer; the operation runs on standard retail and e-commerce infrastructure with centralized fulfillment from Cincinnati. Soccer Village Inc. is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating as of January 2026, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and operates with a headcount in the 51–100 range.
