It’s been nearly a year since the Lionesses bought glory back to English football with their historic win at the 2022 Euros. Overnight, players like Ella Toone, Chloe Kelly and Alessio Russo became household names, and footie fans across the country could finally utter the phrase “it came home”.

Now the pressure’s ramping up again as the Lionesses prepare to take part in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

This July, 32 nations will compete on the international stage from grounds across Australia and New Zealand. Over 64 matches, the teams will be vying to take home the ultimate prize and will be looking to unseat four-time champions, the USA, who won the trophy last in 2019.

For England, the win has so far evaded them, coming as runners-up in both 2015 and 2019. But following their recent success, and considering manager Sarina Wiegman’s incredible winning streak, this year’s squad are in with their best chance yet.

So, it’s time to kick your support up a notch. To get you in the chanting mood, we’ve put together this list of the best Women’s World Cup merchandise. From official squad kits to novelty Lioness tote bags, we’ve got a striking number of world-class gifts to get you ready for this year’s tournament. Plus, we’ve got a few food options to make sure you don’t turn up at any watch parties empty-handed.

Whether you’re a king of keepy-uppies or a dunce at dribbling, you’ll love this roundup of the best football gifts and World Cup merchandise – queue the whistle.
