Football Tours for Youth Groups to Germany
Germany has always been at the forefront of world football, winning multiple World Cups and European Championships. With a tour to Germany you can experience its famous football heritage and visit some of the most famous facilities in the world. You’ll also have opportunities to play against some of the local teams, who are always pleased to host visiting teams.
We like to base our teams in Cologne as it offers a great range of activities, restaurants and accommodation to suit most budgets. It also boasts great access to professional sports, with 7 Bundesliga or Bundesliga2 teams within driving distance. There are some great options in the buzzing city of Munich too.

We can tailor your tour to suit your requirements. The usual tour length is 3 nights (Mon-Thur), or 4 nights (Mon-Fri).
If you are looking to maximise fixtures or excursions, we would recommend a 4-night tour as you would have plenty of time to fit in 2 fixtures and 2 excursions during your stay.
Our standard method of travel is by coach with Dover/Calais ferry crossing, however if you’d prefer to travel Hull/Rotterdam, or fly to Netherlands, we can also arrange this for you. Please let us know.
FAQs
-
What time of year can we go on tour?
April and May are the best times of the year due to the availability for fixtures, although we can arrange tours from late August to early June.
Unfortunately, we cannot arrange tours from Mid-June to mid-August as we cannot guarantee fixtures for you. -
What is the deposit schedule?
The deposit schedule will depend on your specific tour arrangements, but usually involves a per person deposit, followed by your final balance. For flight tours, we will also ask for the cost of the flights at the time of booking. Please discuss with your tour consultant.
