Courtois, Belgium & the T1W
Thibaut Courtois is Belgium’s first-choice goalkeeper and one of the best in the world. The Elite Sport T1W is his signature glove — and Elite Sport put it on his hands for Belgium across multiple matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, before the model ever went on sale to the public.
The T1W is built around a 4mm Ultra GTech Pro latex palm over 4mm of backing foam, with a Negative 2.0 cut designed to fit a range of palm shapes. A KNIT CR backhand keeps it soft and light, while a removable elastic FPMS strap lets you dial in the fit.
Why pros pick this glove
At the elite level, the margin between a save and a goal is a few millimetres of contact. The negative cut pulls more latex onto the ball on every catch, the backing foam absorbs the sting of a hard strike, and a 3D-embossed rubber zone across the backhand adds power to punches and clearances. It’s a glove proven at a World Cup before a single customer could buy it — and it’s the exact model on Courtois’s hands.
