Youth soccer hands out a lot of medals

Indoor leagues all winter, tournaments through the summer, a participation medal for turning up and a real one for winning. By the second season there's a pile.

A pile in a drawer says nothing. On a wall, in order, it says the kid kept going. That's the whole reason this exists — and why it's cut from 2.5 to 3 mm stainless steel rather than something that bends the first time a ball hits it.

One thing parents ask about: the ribbons. Youth soccer medals come on wide, stiff ribbons that bunch badly on hooks and slide freely on a rail. That's not marketing — it's the reason this format exists.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

For a child still in youth leagues, buy 60 cm. The 45 fills in about three seasons and then you own two displays instead of one.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Mounting

Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.

Running out of room

Buy a second and line it up directly beneath or beside this one — the proportions are designed so a pair looks intentional. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Getting it to you

This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 2–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
