Our Company History

A brief history – from Carlos A. Coelho, Founder and CEO

SportsScarf, LLC has been in operation since 1997. Founded in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts as SoccerScarf.com, our company concentrated on creating custom scarves for soccer clubs at the youth, high school, collegiate and professional levels.

Growing up, I enjoyed playing and watching most sports, including soccer (played soccer and baseball at Franklin Pierce University). Following my father’s lead, I grew up as a proud supporter of Sporting Clube de Portugal or simply, Sporting. My father exposed me to memorable soccer matches such as:

  • 1975 – Boston Minutemen featuring Portugal great, Eusébio & American goalkeeper, Shep Messing.
  • 1992 – U.S. Cup – Ireland v Portugal at Foxboro, MA
  • 1994 – FIFA World Cup – Argentina v Greece at Foxboro, MA
  • 1996 – Major League Soccer – its inaugural season

From an early age, I collected soccer scarves from clubs throughout the world. Unfortunately, at that time, the American stadiums did not offer soccer scarves to the fans in attendance … I saw an opportunity.

My father and I at Gillette Stadium – 2013 Brazil vs Portugal.

2002 FIFA World Cup – Korea/Japan    US Soccer/Nike scarf

With the encouragement of my wife and co-owner, Linda, I quit my government position to start “SoccerScarf”.

I have been fortunate to have attended many outstanding matches in Europe including derbies in Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and UEFA Euro 2016 Final in Paris.

It has been a pleasure to witness the growth and passion of soccer in the U.S., both on the field and in the stands.
