Sportswear & Jerseys Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is the Gulf's largest apparel market, with a young population, rapid mall and e-commerce growth under Vision 2030, and Hajj and Umrah traffic that brings millions of visitors to Makkah and Madinah every year.

Buyers here are importers in Jeddah and Riyadh supply mall chains, hypermarkets and online retailers; wholesale traders in Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah buy for pilgrim and expatriate demand; contractors and government bodies buy uniforms and workwear.

Modest cuts, long sleeves and loose fits dominate; thobes and abayas sit beside T-shirts, polos, jeans and track pants for younger buyers, and school uniforms, hospital and security uniforms are bought in large tenders.

Summers are very hot, so lightweight cotton sells from April to October. Demand peaks around Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, National Day (23 September), back-to-school and the cooler winter months.

Textiles and ready-made garments are subject to SASO conformity rules and the SABER registration, with Arabic labelling of fibre content and country of origin; importers should confirm current requirements before shipment.

Duties and taxes: 15% VAT plus GCC customs duty; SASO / SABER conformity may apply. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

The calendar in Saudi Arabia sets the delivery window for sportswear & jerseys. Summers are very hot, so lightweight cotton sells from April to October. Demand peaks around Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, National Day (23 September), back-to-school and the cooler winter months. For sportswear & jerseys specifically, sports kits are ordered ahead of each season; cricket and football orders cluster before tournaments and school sports terms. Our lead time is 20–35 days for custom kits; 40 days for large club orders, plus sea transit of about 5–10 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of sportswear & jerseys in Saudi Arabia include football, cricket and rugby clubs, sports academies and schools, fitness and athleisure retailers and event and promotional organisers. Around Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, they usually order 50–100 sets per design for custom sublimated kits; 500 pieces for stock designs and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Because the climate in Saudi Arabia is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For sportswear & jerseys we recommend Polyester micro-mesh 130–160 GSM, with cotton-polyester dry-fit blend as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

Sizes: S–3XL adult; kids 6–14 years; custom size lists per team. Colours: Full-colour sublimation in any design; solid and panelled colours.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make sportswear & jerseys in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Saudi Arabia market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

Retailers can also buy stock designs in standard colours, which suits buyers who want fast delivery without a design brief.

Custom sportswear is built around sublimation, which prints dye directly into polyester so the design never cracks or peels. Indian factories, especially in Jalandhar, Meerut and Tiruppur, produce team kits for clubs worldwide and can turn small custom orders around in weeks.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Jeddah Islamic Port, about 5–10 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Saudi Arabia; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Packed by team and size, with names and numbers bundled per player; carton markings per team. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Wash cold, hang dry, avoid bleach and fabric softener; do not iron prints.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
