NGA was built on the same qualities every goalkeeper needs. Resilience, determination, and the refusal to quit.

Founded in Ottawa in 2012 by Carlos Lima, NGA began with a simple vision. To create a goalkeeper brand that truly understood the position. Not a soccer brand that happened to make gloves, but a brand built specifically for goalkeepers.

Born in Canada with Portuguese roots, NGA is proud to be the first Canadian goalkeeper brand. Our identity is shaped by two countries connected by a shared passion for hard work, community, and the beautiful game.

Carlos's journey was anything but easy.

After facing significant challenges early in life, he made the decision to move to Canada and start over. Like many goalkeepers, he learned that setbacks are part of the journey. Through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in what was possible, he built successful businesses and created opportunities where none existed before.

Those lessons became the foundation of NGA.

Goalkeepers know what it means to stand alone. They know the pressure of being the last line of defense. They know that one moment can change everything.

That mentality is at the heart of everything we create.

What started as Canada's first goalkeeper brand has grown into a company trusted by goalkeepers at every level of the game. Today, NGA products are worn by youth players chasing their dreams, college athletes competing for championships, and professional goalkeepers performing on some of the biggest stages in soccer all over the world.

But our mission has never changed.

We exist to provide goalkeepers with equipment they can trust when the game is on the line.

Every glove we design, every athlete we support, and every partnership we build is guided by one belief:

Goalkeepers deserve a brand that is built for them.

From local fields in Ottawa to professional stadiums around the world, NGA continues to grow because of the community that believes in what we stand for.

A goalkeeper's job is simple.

Protect the goal.

Refuse to break.

Never stop believing.

NGA.
