Father's Day 2026 lands on Sunday 21 June, sitting in the gap between England v Croatia (17 June) and England v Ghana (23 June). Your dad is going to spend it in the pub regardless. The question is what he's wearing.
Five gifts, in order of brand-relevance.
1. A KALAFULL prediction shirt — his prediction, his name on the back
£79. Print his predicted scoreline for the next England match. Add "FROM_DAD · FOR DAD" or his actual name. Personalised, so you can't return it — but he can wear it on 23 June when England play Ghana, and again on 27 June for Panama. Build it →
2. A 1996 England retro shirt
For the dad who still talks about Gascoigne against Scotland. Score Draw or Toffs both do credible reproductions. £40–55.
3. The big football coffee table book
"Stadium" by Christopher Beanland, "World Cup Posters" by Jose Quezada, or "The Glory Game" by Hunter Davies if your dad's a Spurs man. £25–45.
4. A pair of decent footwear for matchday
Adidas Gazelle in red. Or terrace classics — Reni or Stone Island bucket hat if your dad is that dad.
5. Tickets to a real match in 2027
If you can swing it. The 2026 World Cup is over by mid-July; book him into the next available England qualifier. Wembley. Take him yourself.
One thing to avoid
Don't buy him the official 2026 World Cup ball or commemorative coin set. He won't display it. He'll put it in a drawer. He'll never look at it again.
