FOOTBALL FIRST
TOURISM SECOND
We aren't a travel or tour company, but we are professional football people based in England, who take elite male and female North American teams to play against the academies of professional European football clubs. Our staff is composed of current and former managers, youth coaches, agents, and players!
In 2024 we played against PSG, Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, and Braga. As for 2025 the likes of Arsenal, Benfica, Girona, Everton, Real Oviedo, and Bolton Wanderers.
And while you're on the continent, we won't just take you to the must-see sites, we'll fully immerse you into the European culture. You will eat, breathe, and live like a European. And play football like one too!
SPAIN
Perhaps our most popular destination, our La Liga partners stretch from Champions League upstarts Girona, seasoned regulars Valencia, Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano, and flailing giants Real Oviedo. It's the only country where we get to stay at the residency of professional clubs, thus giving our players access behind the game.
GERMANY
We've come a long way since we our first official partnership with German 4th tier side, Rot Weiss Essen. Now we have signed with Bundesliga sides Koln and Eintract Frankfurt. With a plethora of excellent youth academies and vibrant local football scene, it's no wonder that Germany is the first step for most North American players
ENGLAND
England is our spiritual home, and our access to professional clubs is unbounded. It’s the one place where we only play against the academies of pro clubs. Arsenal is our landmark partner, but it’s the lower league clubs that are most popular: QPR, Bolton, Tranmere, and Leyton Orient. We will get on the field too. And of course we'll take you behind the scenes of our home city, London.
PORTUGAL
The perfect weather, football climate, and the best educators of the game. Benfica has the number one ranked academy in the world, with an alumni list that reads like a who's who of world football today: Ederson, Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Bernado Silva, Joao Felix, and the latest starlet Antonio Silva. They roll out the red carpet for us at their fabled training ground Seixal.

OUR RELATIONSHIPS
We have formed tight-knit relations with some of the continent's most famed clubs and the best academies. Whenever we visit them, we have our teams play against their appropriate academy teams - note that it may be younger than your team's age! And their coaches will take a closer look at our players by running a training session with them.
If you are spending the time and effort to come to Europe, then you should sample the top teams, both Mens and Womens. Playing against local cubs is beneficial, but incomparable to the experience of playing against a youth academy - a lot of these players are future professionals and even being on the same field as them, your players will soak up fame fundamentals such as positioning, movement, mentality.
Don't just take our word for it - find out for yourself!
