About Our Soccer Trips to Portugal

Portugal is the perfect destination for college men’s and women’s teams. Portugal is a more mature location, and we would recommend Italy or Spain for younger teams looking for sun, sand, and soccer. We use Lisbon and Porto as bases to explore all Portugal has to offer, as these two cities offer the best local teams for your games as well as great history to explore. Portugal has a great combination of soccer, sightseeing, beaches and nightlife that appeals to the talents and interests for many college teams.

“My team’s spring break trip to Portugal was amazing. It was a first-class operation as soon as we got off the plane in Lisbon. Everything was well coordinated with hotels and meals, bus transportation, and sightseeing with Filipe, our full-time tour guide. There were so many great things to do in close proximity to each other, plus the quality of women’s soccer over there was very good. My girls thoroughly enjoyed the training and gained valuable experience playing against three very talented clubs.”
– JP Sousa, Head Coach, Catholic University Women’s Soccer

Porto

Located along the Douro river estuary in northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centers. Its Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin for the name Portugal. Also, one of Portugal’s internationally famous exports, port wine, is named for Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular the adegas of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the production and export of the fortified wine. While in Porto, visit Estádio do Dragão, home of FC Porto (one of the Big Three).

Sights to see in Porto:

Porto Cathedral
Estádio do Dragão
Avenida dos Aliados
Palacio da Bolsa,
Crystal Palace Gardens and much more!

“This trip was so great. On the coaching end, we progressed everyday as a team. The competition allowed them to see where they need to be individually and where the USA needs to be at the youth level. I honestly feel the major part of our progression was the players actually seeing the difference of play.”
– Megan Schmidt, Coach, MSYSA
