Why the Rey Cup Football Tournament?

Over its 22-year history, the Rey Cup has evolved from a budding local club tournament to one of Europe’s best pre-season opportunities, attracting around 90 teams from around the globe! The city of Reykjavik, Iceland, sponsors the tournament by granting teams access to use local schools surrounding the site as their home base throughout the tournament.

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.
