The tournament is the longest existing part of the Easter Open tournaments and has become one of the largest of its kind in Europe since its establishment in 1999. Attracting a whopping 600 teams from 16 different countries, the scale of this event is truly remarkable!
In 2023, they had a record number of participants from Denmark (more than 100 boys and girls teams)!
Board the coach from your club and depart for the Dover ferry. Once you’ve arrived in the Netherlands and checked into your accommodation, feel free to explore the surrounding area and enjoy a dinner at one of the restaurants!
Travel to the sports complex for your first day of matches – let’s score some goals! After an energising morning, spend your afternoon relaxing or exploring the vibrant city of Eindhoven.
Return to the sports ground for a second round of matches, followed by finals for your group (note that on this day, teams are arranged into ability-based leagues). End this fantastic tournament with an awards ceremony! All players will receive participation awards, so give yourself a pat on the back. Head back to the holiday park and take advantage of the facilities – go swimming, challenge the high ropes or go climbing… the adventure is endless!
It’s time to begin your journey home! Check out by 10AM and then board your coach for your journey back home, before taking the ferry across the channel. Before getting to Calais, why not stop at a Belgian chocolate factory for some treats?

Yes, you will need formal permission to tour abroad. Please check with your local FA or RFU for the latest guidelines on international travel and participation.
Age groups in Europe are generally based on calendar years (January 1 – December 31), while in the UK they’re based on school years (September 1 – August 31). This means your team might need to play in a higher age category (e.g., a UK U10 might play as a European U11). Many tournaments allow for up to 3 players born in the latter part of the year to compete in the lower category, but more than 3 players born after September may need to play in the higher age group. This is a common practice and won’t affect your team’s performance.
Absolutely! We offer a variety of excursions and activities, such as theme parks, water parks, stadium tours, and more. Speak with your Tour Consultant to explore options, and we can seamlessly add these to your itinerary for a hassle-free experience.

It was such a great weekend. Organised really well and the staff, especially Stacey from Sports Tours, were incredible. It’s not easy organising 2 football teams and Stacey was just incredibly helpful even with the ever-changing details within our group. A fantastic weekend had by all. Would definitely recommend!
