More than a million condoms with fake Arsenal and Chelsea branding have been seized in West Africa, Mirror Online reports.
The £1.1million haul – the largest of its kind – was uncovered as part of an international crackdown on bootleggers.
Customs officials in Ghana opened two 20ft crates and found 378,000 packs of dodgy contraceptives, priced £3 each.
It is not known where they came from and they were destroyed on “health and safety” grounds.
They were among more than half a million Premier League related items worth a record £3.1million confiscated last season.
Other counterfeit products included shirts, phone covers, key chains and potentially dangerous items like lighters.
Since 2011, rip-off goods worth £7.7million have been impounded and officials say this does not include seizures made by clubs and kit makers.
Details of the haul emerged at the Premier League’s Football Against Fakes conference at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, which was attended by sponsors, club officials, customs and police.
Premier League chief Richard Masters said clubs were committed to preventing the sale of “low quality and sometimes dangerous goods by counterfeiters seeking to profit at the expense of loyal supporters”.
Football bosses fear the global success of England’s top flight means counterfeiting is a growing problem.
A Premier League spokesman explained: “In many instances counterfeiters pose as UK businesses when they are actually based in China, which makes it hard for us to identify them.”
Det Chief Insp Peter Ratcliffe, of the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, added: “The production and sale of counterfeit goods damages legitimate industries and funds organised crime networks, some of which operate on a global scale.”
