If you’re strolling through Disney Village soon and suddenly spot a shop brimming with football shirts, rest assured, your eyes aren’t deceiving you! Pelé Soccer, the first European branch of this iconic football brand, has opened its doors this spring, right next to the Sports Bar & Lounge. It’s a delightful and unexpected addition to Disneyland Paris, especially if you have football enthusiasts in your family.
What is Pelé Soccer?
Pelé Soccer is a unique retail concept dedicated to the legendary Brazilian football icon, Pelé, and to the beautiful game itself. The Disney Village store marks its inaugural European location, joining existing stores in New York, Disney Springs at Walt Disney World in Florida, and Downtown Disney at Disneyland in California. The arrival of Pelé Soccer in Disneyland Paris perfectly complements the expanding array of shops and experiences in Disney Village this year, alongside exciting developments like the new Italian restaurant, Casa Giulia, set to open its doors in late 2026.
What can you find there?
Inside the store, you’ll discover an extensive collection of official shirts from major clubs and national teams, exclusive Pelé collections, apparel, accessories, and delightful items for children. Imagine finding replica shirts, scarves, footballs, and charming souvenirs that playfully nod to Pelé’s legendary career. For families with a budding football enthusiast, this makes for a wonderful, unexpected stop between enjoying the attractions and savouring a magical dinner.
Location and Opening Hours
You’ll find Pelé Soccer conveniently located in Disney Village, right next to the Sports Bar & Lounge. This makes it wonderfully easy to combine with an evening meal or a refreshing drink, perhaps even during the excitement of World Cup or European Championship seasons. The store generally follows the opening hours of Disney Village itself, which can vary seasonally. We always recommend checking the most up-to-date times on the day of your visit to ensure a smooth experience.
Kevin’s Tip
Travelling with a family where not everyone shares the same passion for football? Consider combining your visit to Pelé Soccer with a stop at the adjacent Sports Bar & Lounge. This way, everyone can enjoy themselves, whether it’s shopping for a special souvenir or relaxing with a delightful snack.

While Pelé Soccer might not be a ‘must-see’ for every Disneyland Paris visitor, it truly is a wonderful, freely accessible surprise in Disney Village for families with football enthusiasts. It also beautifully illustrates how Disney Village continues to evolve alongside the parks themselves, offering more and more enchanting reasons to explore, even without a park ticket.

Welcome to KTW Magazine! I’m Kevin Schrier, the founder of this platform. My passion for Disney began in the opening year of Disneyland Paris, in 1992, when I visited the park with my whole family – my parents and my brother. I was only three years old at the time.
After that first trip, the park quickly became the setting for a very special tradition between my mother and me. Our exclusive trips together created a magical bond that makes this place extra special to me.
With KTW Magazine I combine my years of experience with the latest news and practical tips and tricks. I love sharing my knowledge and inspiring other visitors for a carefree and unforgettable trip to Disneyland Paris.
