Football is probably the most common type of sports tour that travel abroad as it is open to both boys and girls and played almost everywhere in the World. There are lots of options when deciding where to tour so if you’re struggling to find what you are looking for then read on below for a quick summary of what’s on offer.
This is a fantastic trip to give kids an insight into the world of professional football. Your initial thoughts for a football tour like this will be to go to the big, well-known clubs however, they can’t offer the personal touches that smaller clubs with great youth systems can. Our Atalanta B.C tour is a prime example of this as players will have the chance to get up close and personal with the first team players as well as receiving top quality coaching from Atalanta coaches. Although these trips usually come at a bit of a price, they are definitely worth it to give the kids a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If your main aim from a tour is to get as much match play as possible then a tour to a big city or taking part in a tournament is what you should go for. Somewhere like Barcelona or Lisbon are ideal for this as there are plenty of local teams in and around the city that will be able to challenge your team. Tournaments take place all over Europe with a variety of standards so discuss with your account manager what you are looking for to get the most out of your trip. Our favourites include the Gothia Cup in Sweden and the Mediterranean International Cup in Costa Brava, Spain.
You don’t have to spend lots or travel far to find a great football destination where your team will have a great time. If you’re travelling from the UK and not looking to spend too much on a tour then destinations like Jersey or Holland are great places to start. Both are very easy to get to via either a short flight, ferry or train and have lots to do on and off of the pitch. Why not keep costs down even more by combining your tour with your schools hockey or rugby team and all travelling by coach to your chosen destination.
