Five-a-side football might not fill a stadium, but the goals, assists and saves are just as real. A custom 5-a-side card puts your player centre stage: their photo, their stats and their name on a design built for football. Choose from 127 designs, fill in the six stats that matter most to your game, and preview everything on screen before you order. Cards are printed to order and cut to the card's outline, so the finished result looks sharp whether it sits on a desk or hangs on a wall. Sizes run from A5 to A0, so there is something for every budget and every space.
Why 5-a-side deserves its own card
Five-a-side has its own culture: loyal leagues, mid-week rituals, legendary five-touch finishes and keepers who somehow save everything. It is the version of football that millions of adults play every week, and yet it rarely gets the celebration it deserves.
A CardStar 5-a-side card changes that. You choose a design built for football, load in the stats that define your player's contribution, whether that is goals, assists, clean sheets or even nutmegs per season, and the result is a personalised card that looks as serious as the sport feels to the people playing it.
These cards make great end-of-season gifts, birthday surprises or just a way to mark that one mate who always scores the winner and never lets anyone forget it.
Pick a design that suits your squad
Every design in the football range is built around the sport. You will find bold colour blocks, clean modern layouts and more classic styles, all with a frame and typography that feel right for football cards. With 127 designs to choose from, you can pick one that fits the personality of your player or your league.
If you are making cards for a whole squad, choosing a single design ties them together as a set. If you want to give each player something individual, you can mix designs across the group. There is no requirement to match.
Filling in the stats for five-a-side
The card has six stats slots and you decide exactly what goes in each one. Five-a-side stats are different from the eleven-a-side game: you might track goals, assists, saves, tackles, distance covered or even yellow cards received for unnecessary slide tackles on an astroturf pitch.
You also set the position, the overall rating and the player's name. Edit any field and the preview updates instantly on screen, so you can see exactly what will be printed before you confirm anything. Nothing is locked in until you are happy with how it looks.
How the card is made and what it looks like
When you upload a photo, we remove the background so the player appears directly on the card design rather than in front of a car park or sports hall wall. You do not need a professional photo: a clear picture taken on a phone in decent light works well.
Once you order, the card is printed to order and cut to the outline of the design shape, so the edges are clean and precise. There are no square borders cutting across the artwork. The finished card arrives ready to frame, hang up or hand over as a gift.
Six sizes are available from A5 to A0, with prices starting from £18.00. A smaller size fits a gift bag or a desk. Larger sizes look great on a bedroom wall or in a clubhouse. Every card is delivered worldwide.
End-of-season cards for the whole team
Making cards for every player in your squad is straightforward with team orders. You share a link and parents or players can add their own photo at their end, which you can review before anything goes to print. One session covers the whole group, so nobody is missed.
You can add a card for the manager or coach too. A card featuring their photo and a set of coaching stats, however tongue-in-cheek, tends to go down well at an end-of-season gathering.

More ways to use your 5-a-side card
Beyond end-of-season presentations, 5-a-side cards work well for birthdays, leaving gifts when someone moves away from the league, or as a fun reward for a player of the month. The larger sizes make a genuine statement: an A2 or A1 card on a wall is hard to miss and tends to get a reaction.
If you are looking for more gift ideas around football, the birthday sports card ideas page has plenty of starting points. And if your group also plays other sports, CardStar covers cricket, basketball and more, so you can build a card for any game your players take seriously.
Questions, answered
Can I choose stats that are specific to five-a-side?
Yes, absolutely. All six stat labels and values are fully editable. You can use goals, assists and saves, or go with anything else that reflects how your game is played. There are no fixed categories and the card updates on screen as you type.
What kind of photo works best for a 5-a-side card?
A clear photo showing the player's head and shoulders works well. It does not need to be taken by a professional: a phone photo in decent light is fine. We remove the background automatically, so you do not need to worry about what is behind the player.
Can I make cards for every player in my five-a-side squad at once?
Yes. Team orders lets you build cards for a whole group together. You can share a link so players or parents can add their own photo, then review everything before it goes to print. A coach or manager card can be included in the same order.
What sizes are available and where do cards usually end up?
There are six sizes from A5 to A0. Smaller sizes suit desks, shelves or gift bags. Mid-range sizes are popular for bedroom or games room walls. The largest sizes make an impression in a clubhouse or changing room. Prices start from £18.00.
Can the card go to someone outside the UK?
Yes. Every card is printed to order and delivered worldwide. The card is cut to the shape of the design so it arrives ready to display or frame wherever it is going.
Can I preview the card before I order?
Yes. As you build the card, the preview on screen updates in real time so you can see exactly what will be printed. You can adjust the photo, stats, name and position until everything looks right before you place your order.
