As we pair your group with regional teams, our standard touring programs will be placed in a 3-Star or 4-Star hotels, with a private bathroom guaranteed in each room near sporting facilities. Often this means your overnight stays will be approximately 90 minutes outside of the city center. If your group chooses an upgraded hotel option you will typically be placed in a more central location Our quotations are based on rooming in twin rooms, or occasionally triples. ALL our properties are clean and comfortable. As further indication to our commitment to quality, our staff has vetted all properties used during this event.

Yes. It is recommended by the US and Canadian governments that if only one parent/guardian is traveling they carry a notarized (witnessed in Canada) letter of permission from the stay-at-home parent.

In our experience the teams who start the booking process approximately 15 to 12 months in advance have a better chance of making the trip happen. Our best advice is to decide on your preferred trip and confirm the dates as soon as possible. Because the trip is dependent on availability of services at the time of booking, the sooner you confirm the more likely the exact dates, hotels and flights you want will be available. If you are traveling during high season, airlines and hotels can have significant demand for seats/rooms and the sooner we are able to submit your group’s request, more likely we are to secure your exact, preferred schedule. Please contact us as early as possible for a tour proposal that is fine tuned to the exact the needs of your team.

We require a completed and signed general terms and conditions form and deposit from each traveler.

Many of our teams travel with less than their full roster. There are many reasons for this; family holidays, school conflicts, financial inability, seasonal employment, academic reasons, or selection for the O.D.P. or Regional squads.

Guest players can also be found for you from your destination country.

Any amateur sports organization traveling for an international match or tournament must receive permission from their U.S. Soccer-affiliated organization first and then subsequently from U.S. Soccer.

All of these necessary documents will be provided by WorldStrides Sports.
