About Sondico
With over five decades of experience, Sondico has become a trusted name in the world of football. Renowned for its specialist gear—particularly footballs, goalkeeper gloves, and shin pads—Sondico has played a pivotal role in elevating the standards of the sport.
The brand's rise to prominence began in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when goalkeepers often played barehanded or with minimal protection. Sondico changed the game with gloves that offered both enhanced grip and essential hand protection, revolutionising goalkeeping gear.
Founded by Mr. Sondi in India as a maker of sports accessories, the company later moved to Oldham, near Manchester, where it became known for producing high-quality football equipment. At the height of its popularity, Sondico was the go-to brand for goalkeeper gloves across England.
Many legendary British goalkeepers—including Ray Clemence, Peter Shilton, David James, and Neville Southall—relied on Sondico gloves during their careers. The brand's legacy spans all levels of play, from grassroots to the international stage.
Today, Sondico continues to innovate across football, netball, and rugby. From high-performance gloves to training equipment and balls, the brand applies cutting-edge technology like Aquabloc sleeves (which help keep moisture out of gloves) and gun cut roll finger stitching for improved ball contact.
Whether you're a rising star or a weekend warrior, Sondico’s durable, comfortable, and performance-driven gear helps athletes of all levels play with confidence.
