More Than a Tournament – A Football Adventure to Remember

If you’ve ever thought about taking your team on tour, now’s the time.

There’s something pretty special about travelling together as a team — the build-up, the excitement, the matches, the laughs on the coach, even the late-night games of Uno in the hotel rooms. And when it’s all been expertly organised by people who genuinely love what they do? That’s when the magic really happens.

At Esselle, we make football tournaments easy. You bring the team — we’ll take care of the rest.

From the moment you first get in touch, we’re here to make the process simple and enjoyable. We know how busy teachers, coaches, and club leaders are, and we pride ourselves on taking the pressure off.

Here’s what a typical tournament trip might look like:

Whether you’re flying or travelling by coach, we’ll sort your transport, accommodation, and itinerary — all tailored to your group. Our team is on hand before, during, and after the trip to keep things running smoothly.

Each of our tournaments offers competitive fixtures against teams from across Europe and beyond. There’s something really special about lining up against new opposition, hearing different languages on the pitch, and representing your school or club with pride.

It’s not just about football. Between matches, we’ll make sure your team gets to see the best of the local culture — whether that’s sightseeing in Barcelona, pizza in Italy, a stadium tour in Paris, or simply enjoying the sunshine with teammates.

Some of the best memories happen when the whistle’s not blowing. These trips build camaraderie, confidence, and team spirit that lasts well beyond the final day.

We’ve been doing this for years, and we genuinely love what we do. You’ll always speak to real people who understand sport, schools, and group travel — and who are happy to help every step of the way.

Here’s what we often hear from our clients:

“Everyone at Esselle is so helpful and friendly — nothing was too much trouble.”

“You made it all so easy — we didn’t have to worry about a thing.”

“If any problems came up, they were sorted straight away.”

That’s exactly how we want you to feel. And we offer a brilliant range of football tournaments across Europe for you to choose from, including:

• Copa Catalunya (Spain) – Football, sunshine, and the magic of Barcelona

• Holland Easter Open – A lively, well-run tournament with a great atmosphere

• Germany Cup – Competitive fixtures in a beautiful region

• Lake Garda Cup (Italy) – Play and explore in stunning surroundings

• Paris World Games – A unique international experience in the City of Light

Each one offers something a little different — and we’ll help you find the best fit for your group.
