Don't Let Football Medals End Up in a Drawer
Five-a-side finals, Sunday league titles, a school cup win, a season with the girls' team that finally clicked.
Football medals rack up fast, and most of them end up exactly the same way: in a drawer, on a hook, or lost in a shoe box at the back of a cupboard no one has opened in a year.
Why football medals disappear
Football produces more medals per person than almost any other sport. A single season can bring a league medal, a cup medal, a player-of-the-season award, maybe a five-a-side tournament win on top. Kids collect them even faster, end-of-season presentations hand out medals to entire squads, sometimes several times a year.
That volume is exactly the problem. With so many medals and no context attached to any of them, they blur into one shiny pile. Six months on, nobody remembers which medal was the final that went to penalties and which was just for taking part. A medal on its own doesn't tell that story - it just sits there, identical to a dozen others, until it stops meaning anything at all.
Give it the context it deserves
A MyMedal box turns one football medal into a proper record of what actually happened. Instead of a nameless disc on a ribbon, you get the team, the competition, the score, the date, or a line only you'd write about that match — "Bellshill 5-a-side Champions, 2026" or "Cup Final, 3-2 after extra time" means something a plain medal never will.
Choose the football silhouette to match the game, male or female versions available — and pick your colour: Gold, Silver, Rose Gold, or White. Then mount it properly instead of letting the medal slide sideways on a hook or curl up in a drawer.
Each box is:
- Personalised with up to five lines of your own text, 13 characters per line
- 3D printed to order here in Great Britain, ready within 24 hours (shipping adds a little time on top)
- Lightweight at 56g, and fits any ribbon size, so it works whether the medal is a chunky adult league medal or a small kids' participation one
- Fitted for damage-free wall mounting via a 3M Command strip, with an integrated nail slot if you'd rather use that instead
- Designed for indoor display — a hallway, bedroom wall, or trophy shelf, not anywhere exposed to weather or damp

One medal, or a growing wall
Some people go straight for the one that matters most — the cup final, the title-winning season, the medal from the year everything came together. Others use MyMedal to mark every season as it happens, building a wall of display boxes over time, often alongside a framed match ticket or team photo for context.
Either way works. The point isn't to display every medal you've ever picked up — it's to stop the ones that actually mattered from disappearing into a drawer with all the rest.
