RTMO FOOTBALL ✦ OUR STORY

Built for women's football.

RTMO is a football brand built around the female athlete from the start. Different fit, different needs, different game. No men's products relabelled as unisex. Just products designed for women who play.

01 / WHY RTMO

Women should be the starting point.

For years, female footballers have accepted products that were originally designed around men. From oversized kits to so-called unisex products that still follow a men's fit. Women's football is growing fast, and RTMO wants to grow with it by creating products that actually take the female body, fit and experience into account.

THE IDEA

Not a men's product made smaller.
Not unisex because it's easier.
Designed for women from the start.

02 / WHERE IT STARTED

One problem at a time.

The first RTMO product started with a simple frustration: grip socks that were too loose. Most football grip socks are made with a unisex, or simply a men's, fit. Because men's and women's feet differ in shape and width, that loose fit can create bunching, movement and friction inside the boot.

After speaking with female players who recognised the same problem, RTMO started developing a grip sock specifically for women's feet. A closer fit, strong grip and quality materials, built for training and match day.

03 / BEHIND THE BRAND

A personal connection to the game.

RTMO was created from years spent in and around women's football. Its founder, Else-Marie, played for around ten years before several ACL injuries forced her to stop. She moved into coaching instead and has now spent four years working with girls' and women's teams, from U12 level to senior football.

Being on the sidelines for years gave her a lot of time to look at the game differently, notice what could be better and think about how she could contribute. RTMO became one small way to be part of the continued development of women's football.

04 / THE NAME

Why RTMO?

RTMO comes from the Spanish word ritmo, meaning rhythm. Spain has a personal place in the story behind the brand. Else-Marie lived and played football there, and the country's football culture and expressive style of play became part of the inspiration.

Rhythm is everywhere in football: the timing of a run, the change of pace, the movement of the ball and the connection between teammates. RITMO became RTMO, a shorter and stronger name that kept that meaning at its core.

Your game. Your movement. Your rhythm.

05 / WHAT COMES NEXT

Grip socks are only the beginning.

RTMO's ambition is bigger than one product. The goal is to create the things female football athletes need, with women as the starting point in fit, function, design and the culture around the game.

And it should stay accessible. From young players just starting out to women who have played for years, RTMO wants every female footballer to be able to discover the brand and think: finally, this is actually for me.
