WHY WE MAKE IT
We design our products to be simple yet smart, stylish yet practical, and affordable with a focus on quality. Since the beginning, low prices have been our way of making our products available to as many people as practically possible. We are encouraged to innovate, question and challenge, make strategic choices inspired by a global vision, and design with the user’s needs in mind. Once we’ve imagined the products you’ll take with you to your next match or session, we develop prototypes, then test and retest every single one.

SPORTS FOR THE MANY
When you walk into Decathlon – we want you to pick things up, try them on, and play around. We have tents pitched so you can get inside, a golf simulator to test out clubs, dedicated skating areas or bouldering walls… and our experts are always on hand to help, whether that’s answering questions about size and fit, providing tips on the best UK hikes or tennis racket grips, or simply giving you the confidence that you’ve found the right kit to discover and pursue your sport.

FOR THE PLANET AND THE PEOPLE
We are all responsible. Protecting the people of today, we want to help ensure a bright future for the next generation, and the one after that, so everyone can enjoy practising sports and staying healthy in a safe and thriving outdoor environment. The current state of our environment needs to be addressed. The time for awareness has passed and it’s time for action, which is why we’re embracing our responsibility to reduce, reuse, recycle and repair now,
