The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has launched an official flagship store for the Portuguese national team on Amazon.

A wide selection of official team products are set to be available on the store.

Portugal joins some of the biggest clubs in football in having an Amazon store, such as Tottenham Hotspur, AS Monaco and Liverpool.

CMO of the Portuguese Football Federation, Nuno Moura, was excited to celebrate the collaboration with Amazon.

“Team Portugal has an enormous fanbase spread all around the globe, this new official football flagship store will enable us to provide premium access to the best products and fan items to all our supporters and get them shipped speedily and effortlessly to a number of new geographies,” he said.

“This is yet another stepstone to continue delivering great proximity and Inspire & Serve™️ passionate Portugal fans close and afar. They are part of our family, their support invaluable!”

“Disruptive innovation is in both Amazon’s and Portugal F.A’s DNA, fans can expect some incredible surprises and a chance to participate in unique experiences in the coming months.”

The FPF said that the store would meet the high international demand for Portugal national team merchandise.

“We are excited to collaborate with the FPF and helping them reach their fans around the globe,” Head of Amazon’s Fans 360 Initiative, Hernando Moncaleano said.

“We are putting to the FPF service exciting technology to delight fans wherever they might be.”

The launch of official Amazon store follows the FPF’s creation of an Official National Team Store on ecommerce platform Alibaba Tmall, in late January.

Previously there were no official channels for Chinese fans to buy official Portugal national team merchandise.

“With the launch of the Official Flagship Store in the Chinese market, we will be able to be even closer to our fans and provide a premium experience, tailored specifically to them,” Moura said.

“We are extremely grateful to these fans for their continued support to Team Portugal, and with the Euros coming up this summer we hope to see them once again proudly wearing our colours. It means a lot to the team.”

A new TV series based on Sam Kerr’s children’s books ‘Kicking Goals’ is set to begin filming in early 2027 in Western Australia.

The show follows a young Kerr before she became captain of the Matildas and a star at Chelsea FC. Set in her home state of WA, the story sees her navigate her way through growing up and chasing her dreams, alongside her family and friends, and the adventures that entailed.

Speaking to Screenwest, Kerr said, ‘It’s pretty surreal knowing that Kicking Goals is being adapted into a TV series. These stories are all about believing in yourself and having a go, so it feels really special that a whole new generation will get to experience them on screen.’

Co-authored by Fiona Harris, the books have been a success since their initial release in 2021, a period which has coincided with Kerr and her Matildas teammates growing from beloved within Australia’s football community, into a team of genuine national appeal and recognition. They are available nation-wide, sold at major retailers such as Big W and Dymocks.

The television adaptation will beproduced by Orange Entertainment for Paramount+.

‘Kicking Goals’ is set to inject AUD 5million into the WA economy and provide over 130 local jobs.

Creative Industries Minister of WA, Simone McGurk, said via WA GOV, ‘The series will showcase all that Western Australia has to offer – including our world-class talent, crew, and diverse locations – while celebrating the story of one of our sporting greats.’

Casting is currently underway, with a search for a young Kerr and her mates ongoing.

The months after the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australian and New Zealand saw an 11% increase in women and girl’s participation in football compared to the previous year, showing the direct impact the biggest stage can have on grassroots football.

Kerr has managed to build on that success and begin a new chapter, inspiring kids both on and off the field.

Mark Milligan – former Socceroos captain and Newcastle Jets Premiership-winning manager – is set to be the guest of honour at the 2026 Football NSW Coaching Conference, held at Valentine Sports Park from November 21st–22nd.

The annual conference represents Australia’s largest gathering of football coaches, and is set to include expert insight into coaching, practical sessions and development plans for attendees. Milligan will partake in a Q&A session with MC Stephanie Brantz on November 21, adding significant gravitas to the conference.

Chris Gallo, Football NSW Coach Education Manager spoke highly of Milligan via Football NSW.

‘Opportunities to hear from people who have experienced the game at the highest level are incredibly valuable for our coaches. Mark brings a unique perspective on leadership, performance and the demands of elite football, and we want our coaches to be able to take those insights back into their own environments,’ he said.

Milligan traversed the globe across a near-twenty year professional career that started in the old National Soccer League, concluded in the A-League, and took in time across Europe, the UK and Asia.

He represented the Socceroos with distinction across 80 appearances, selected by four seperate managers in World Cup squads, and was captain of the Olympic team in 2008. His nascent managerial career has already seen two trophies at Newcastle, where he is presently leading them in the Asian Champions League.

But it all began on the local pitches of Bankstown. Milligan is an authentic, home-grown product of Football NSW, and emblamatic of the rewards that can be reaped from investing in the beginning of a player’s journey.

With the conference already selling out, attendees can now expect to learn plemty from one of Australia’s most exciting, up-and-coming coaches.

The opportunity Football NSW are providing showcases their commitment in helping coaches develop, and their continued pledge of giving back to the game at its foundation.
