If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Robb Report may receive an affiliate commission. Two tests of endurance are right around the corner: the holidays and the FIFA World Cup —which, for the first time, starts on November 20 and runs through December 18. Confused soccer fans might be asking themselves, “Doesn’t that happen in the summer?” Well, normally it does.

But because the quadrennial event is being held in Qatar, a country where temperatures reach 110-plus degrees in summer, the date has been pushed back. This means that my family is bound to get an earful on misjudged penalties, goals and the greatness of the Mexican national team come Christmas dinner. I have something else to talk about besides my chronic knee pain.

It’s not every year that the world’s biggest sporting event and the holidays happen almost simultaneously. That alone is a gift for soccer fans. But if you want to score points with the diehards or players in your life, give them something that really speaks to their passion for fútbol .

From a rare Louis Vuitton backpack to a Ronaldo-endorsed massager, we’ve gathered a selection of goods that’ll have them knee-sliding in celebration—hopefully without hurting themselves, because we all know those artificial turf fields can be quite unforgiving. My knee is more than enough proof. Playing soccer—or sitting on the couch for hours, watching your favorite team—can be tiring and leave you sore.

The smart and quiet Theragun PRO personal massage device from Therabody helps decrease muscle soreness and fatigue, releases tension and increases mobility and range of motion. Plus, many of your favorite players rely on this massager. And who doesn’t want to be like them? Buy Now on Therabody: $599 Buy Now on Amazon: $499 What screams football and fashion as much as this Louis Vuitton FIFA Black Backpack? Sold out worldwide, this never-worn black and white bag was part of the Louis Vuitton 2018 World Cup collection.

Still in the box, it comes with a hologram identification card. Buy Now on 1stdibs: $5999 Is there a more popular reusable water bottle on the market than Yeti? Whether you’re looking for a refreshing drink after playing 90 minutes or trying to keep your coffee warm on the sidelines, Yeti products can withstand the elements. Soccer players and fans can even customize their products—including adding the colors of the brand’s hometown team, Austin FC, one of the newest expansion sides in Major League Soccer.

Buy Now on Yeti: $40 Kick back and enjoy all of the action in Qatar with this 83-inch 4K smart TV from LG. This television will make you feel like you’re in the stadium rooting for your home team, even if you’re millions of miles away. With a 120 Hz refresh rate, you won’t have to worry about missing any of the action.

Supporting streaming services include Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock and Apple TV. Buy Now on Amazon: $3997 Just in time for the World Cup, USMNT captain Christian Pulisic and Puma released the CP Collection aimed at inspiring the next generation of American soccer players. Pulisic’s first signature collection features his very own red, white and blue inspired Ultra soccer cleats, two jerseys, a track jacket, pants and a ball.

Buy Now on Puma: $220 What says “I love you” and “you love soccer” more than a 14K white gold soccer ball necklace from Charles & Colvard? This mini soccer ball pendant, punctuated with 10 sparkling moissanite gems, has been awarded to the NC Courage’s “Brilliant Player of the Game” during the NWSL club’s 2019 and 2020 seasons. Buy Now on Charles & Colvard: $699 For the last 100 years, foosball, also known as table football or table soccer, has been spinning its way into our hearts. Competitors test their reaction time and wrist-flicking skills in order to use miniature soccer players bound in lines by metal rods to score goals.

If you can’t get outside to kick an actual ball, this is the next best thing for soccer fans. Buy Now on Pottery Barn: $1899 Don’t have enough room for a full foosball table? Take the game to your table top with Biñho, the finger-flicking football game that has competitors alternate turns to try to score seven goals while avoiding opposing team defenders.

Buy Now on Soccer: $100 The most popular national team in the United States isn’t who you think it would be.

Regardless of who you’re rooting for in Qatar, both styles are works of art. Buy Now on Adidas: $90 We get it: The rise of over-the-top services and the fragmentation of live sports media rights has made watching your favorite club a little more complicated depending on what services you pay for.

Known as El Clásico, the twice-a-year meeting between Spain’s premier clubs has produced some of soccer’s most iconic moments, including Ronaldinho’s dazzling run in 2005, which led to a standing ovation from Real Madrid’s supporters, and Barcelona fans throwing a severed pig head at Luis Figo in 2002.
