For young footballers, few experiences can match the excitement of competing in an international tournament while enjoying the magic of Disneyland® Paris. The Disneyland® Paris Football Festival combines competitive football, expert coaching and unforgettable team bonding into one incredible five-day tour. Designed for boys' and girls' teams from Under-12 to Under-15 level, it offers the perfect balance of sporting development and fun.
1. Compete Against New Teams
One of the biggest benefits of touring abroad is the opportunity to face different opposition. The festival gives teams the chance to compete in a professionally organised tournament featuring pool matches, play-offs and finals. Players can test themselves against new opponents, experience different styles of play and develop valuable match-day experience in a competitive environment. For many young footballers, this will be their first opportunity to represent their school or club overseas, creating memories and confidence that can last a lifetime.
2. Learn from UEFA-Licensed Coaches
The football festival is delivered in partnership with Catalan Soccer, an organisation inspired by the principles of the famous La Masia coaching philosophy. Throughout the tour, players take part in coaching clinics and masterclasses led by experienced UEFA-licensed coaches.
These sessions focus on:
· Ball mastery and technical skills
· Positional awareness
· Game intelligence
· Creativity and decision-making
· Teamwork and communication
It's a fantastic opportunity for players to receive expert coaching in a fresh environment and immediately put what they've learned into practice during tournament matches.
3. Experience the Magic of Disneyland® Paris
What makes this tour truly unique is the combination of football and Disney magic. Every participant receives a Hopper Ticket, providing access to both Disneyland® Park and Disney Adventure World.
After the intensity of tournament football, players can celebrate together by exploring world-famous attractions, thrilling rides and immersive themed lands. From Marvel Avengers Campus to the exciting World of Frozen, there is something for every member of the group to enjoy.
It's the perfect reward for the hard work put in on the pitch.
4. Build Team Spirit and Create Lasting Memories
Successful teams are built on more than just training sessions and match days. Touring abroad creates shared experiences that strengthen friendships, improve communication and build team culture.
From travelling together and staying as a group to competing in tournament football and celebrating at the awards ceremony, players enjoy countless opportunities to bond with teammates. The festival also includes trophy presentations ensuring everyone feels part of the experience.
Many coaches find that the positive impact on team morale lasts long after the tour is over.
5. Everything Is Organised for You
Planning an overseas sports tour can feel overwhelming, but the Disneyland® Paris Football Festival is designed to make the process simple for schools and clubs. The package includes coach travel, return Channel crossings, accommodation, breakfasts, tournament entry, coaching sessions, equipment and on-site tour management support.
With the logistics handled by experienced tour organisers, coaches and teachers can focus on supporting their players and enjoying the experience rather than worrying about travel arrangements.
