Acrylic Player of the Match Awards
Midton designs and manufactures custom player-of-the-match awards for football, rugby and a range of other sports. Each acrylic award recognises hard work in a single game, and every piece is cast entirely in-house at our Scottish foundry.
Recognise Outstanding Performance on the Pitch
A player-of-the-match award marks the individual whose performance made the biggest difference in a game. It’s a quick way to recognise someone’s achievement, effort and skill straight after the final whistle, providing motivation for players to keep performing at their best. It also gives clubs and tournaments a simple ritual that teams and fans can look forward to.
As global leaders in cast acrylic since 1982, Midton is trusted by tournament organisers, football clubs and broadcasters as a premium manufacturer and supplier of bespoke sports awards. Every match award is crafted at our Scottish foundry, with acrylic embedment used to display real details from the game.
What Sets Our Bespoke Player of the Match Awards Apart
No two competitions or match days are the same, so your awards shouldn’t be either. Every piece we create is designed and made in-house, giving you full control over the details that matter while maintaining consistent quality.
Here’s what makes our offering stand out:
- Fully custom design: Each award reflects your club colours, badge or tournament branding, with no off-the-shelf styles.
- In-house production: Casting, CNC machining, printing and finishing all happen under one roof.
- Acrylic embedment: Match items such as kit fabric, entrance tickets, or turf can be permanently embedded within acrylic.
- Fast lead times: Because nothing is outsourced, we can find time to fit fixtures around tournament schedules.
- Global delivery: We supply clubs and event organisers across the UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East.
