Soccer Player Coloring Pages

Meet the stars of the pitch on our soccer player coloring pages, where strikers, midfielders and whole teams are ready for your colors. Every design is free to print as a PDF or to color online.

Color a striker firing a shot under the floodlights, teammates celebrating a goal, a midfielder weaving through cones, or two players in a clean slide tackle. There are gentle scenes for little ones too — a kid kicking a ball, a passing drill and friendly animal mascots — so footballers of every age find a favorite.

Color a Soccer Star: Make Your Player Look Ready to Play!

A soccer player picture is all about the kit, the pose, and the little details—the jersey, shorts, socks, cleats, and of course the ball. Coloring carefully makes your player look like a real athlete in action. Pick a team’s colors and keep them the same across the whole kit.

What to Watch for While Coloring a Player

Skin tones: players come in every shade. Choose a skin color you like and color the face, arms, and legs smoothly and evenly.
Hair: color it in one clear color (black, brown, blond, or even a bright dyed color) and leave a tiny light spot for shine.
The kit: pick one or two team colors and keep the jersey, shorts, and socks matching.
The number: leave the shirt number a different color (often white) so it stands out on the jersey.
Cleats: often black, white, or a bright color. A tiny white dot makes them look shiny and new.
The ball: keep the classic white with black patches so it’s easy to recognize.
Movement: a soft shadow under the player’s feet makes them look like they’re really running or kicking.

Helpful hint: color the skin and kit first. Once the big areas are done, small details like the number and cleats are easy to finish.

Simple Steps for a Neat, Realistic Finish

Color the skin first, smoothly and evenly.
Add the hair in one clear color.
Color the kit—jersey, shorts, and socks—in matching team colors.
Finish with the cleats, the shirt number, the ball, and a soft shadow under the feet.

Quick check: when the skin, hair, and kit are all clearly different, your player looks ready to run onto the pitch.
