If you’re running out of time to decorate for Halloween but still want to show off your love for the beautiful game, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Whether you’re hosting a ‘kick or treat’ themed party, adding some soccer spirit to your front yard, or looking for a fun twist for your trunk-or-treat set up, we’ve put together the best DIYs so you can transform any space into a spooky one that any fellow soccer fan will love. These easy last-minute Halloween decoration ideas are the perfect blend of spooky season and soccer spirit, perfect for trick-or-treaters or any of your Halloween festivities this season!

1.    Halloween Soccer Skeletons

Nothing screams soccer-themed Halloween like skeletons taking part in a spooky soccer match on your front lawn! All you’ll need to complete this set-up are some full-sized plastic skeletons you can easily find at your local dollar store, a soccer ball and some creativity. Whether you have one skeleton playing as the goalkeeper making a save, or a team of skeletons celebrating a big win, this is your chance to have fun with the scenarios and really make it your own. You could even take it a step further by adding a soccer net, glow-in-the-dark soccer balls, or even a fog machine for extra spooky vibes!

2.    Soccer-Themed Pumpkin Carving

The classic jack-o-lantern face is so last season, especially when you can add your own soccer flair! Take your annual pumpkin carving tradition to the next level with some designs inspired by the beautiful game. Whether you carve your favourite team's logo, a soccer ball hexagon design, or even a soccer cleat kicking a ball (example shown in the main image), there are so many free patterns you can use online too! If carving isn’t your thing or if you have little ones who want to participate, you can also use a black sharpie to draw on your design!

3.    Soccer-Themed Trunk or Treat

If you’ve got a local trunk-or-treat event coming up, we’ve got the perfect soccer-themed idea that will make your car stand out from the rest! These gatherings have become more popular recently as a way for communities to come together and hand out candy as a group in a safe environment. For a soccer-inspired set-up you can transform your car into a mini stadium with a soccer net, mini turf, cones, and DIY some soccer ball ghosts to guard the candy. Hand out treats from soccer ball buckets while wearing your favourite team jersey, and you’ve got a soccer-themed Halloween trunk that’s sure to score this year!

4.    Kick-or-Treat Party Invitations

If you’re planning a last-minute Halloween party for the soccer lovers in your life, kick things up a notch with your invitations! You can easily DIY your own ‘Kick or Treat’ invitations with paper cut into soccer ball shapes, or design your own using a printable template like this awesome one we found on Etsy. You could even take it a step further and encourage your guests to come in their best spooky soccer-themed costumes!

5.    Locker / Front Door Soccer Pumpkins

Lastly, we have a soccer-themed Halloween decoration that’s perfect for soccer fans of all ages to DIY! Inspired by ‘Tried and True by Trista’s’ creative soccer-themed pumpkin decor tutorial, you can add a fun soccer twist to your locker or front door for the season. Start by cutting cute pumpkin shapes out of orange cardstock. Then draw or cut out your favourite jersey numbers and glue them onto the pumpkins. Finish off the look with some soccer-themed orange, white, and black ribbons and display them on your front door or locker. You could take this a step further and add some fake cobwebs for a spooky display that will stand out from the rest!
