What is a Soccer Tour to England?
At Total Football Experience, we specialise in creating custom soccer tours to England for USA youth soccer teams and Canadian junior soccer teams. Our tours are designed to be accessible, inclusive, and development-focused, making international soccer travel possible for clubs across recreational, grassroots, and competitive pathways. Every England soccer tour we organise is fully bespoke. There are no fixed dates, no set itineraries, and no off-the-shelf packages. Instead, your club chooses when to travel and how the experience is shaped. To support coaches and organisers, one complimentary stay is always included, with additional free places available depending on travelling numbers.
London, Manchester & Chester Soccer Tours
Our soccer tours to England are commonly based in London and Manchester, two of the most iconic football cities in the world. These locations allow teams to experience the game at every level, from grassroots football to the professional matchday environment, while also enjoying some of England’s most famous cultural landmarks. Basing a tour in London or Manchester provides easy access to training facilities, local English teams, professional stadiums, and efficient transport links. This makes it possible to balance football activities with sightseeing and educational experiences throughout the tour.
Playing Against Local English Teams
A core part of every England soccer tour is the opportunity to play matches against local English youth and grassroots teams. Fixtures are arranged against comparable opposition to ensure games are competitive, enjoyable, and development-focused rather than results-driven. Playing against local teams exposes young players to different playing styles, game tempo, and football culture. These matches are often one of the most memorable aspects of the tour and provide valuable learning experiences that players bring back to their clubs at home.
Youth Soccer Training Sessions in England
Each tour includes structured youth soccer training sessions in England, delivered by experienced English coaches. Sessions are designed to challenge players technically and tactically while encouraging creativity, decision-making, and adaptability in a new football environment. Training sessions are tailored to suit the age and ability of each group, making them appropriate for recreational, grassroots, and competitive teams alike. The emphasis is always on learning and development rather than performance pressure.
Stadium Tours and Matchday Experiences
No soccer tour to England is complete without experiencing the professional game up close. Tours often include stadium visits and professional ground tours, allowing players and families to explore iconic venues and learn about the history of English football. Where schedules allow, teams may also attend live professional matches, giving players the chance to experience the atmosphere of an English matchday and see how the game is played and presented at the highest level.
Cultural and Educational Experiences Beyond the Pitch
Soccer tours abroad offer far more than football alone. Alongside training and matches, teams enjoy cultural and educational experiences that help players understand the wider world through the lens of soccer. From navigating major cities to interacting with local people and experiencing everyday life in England, these moments support personal, social, and emotional development. For many players, a soccer tour to England becomes a defining experience that builds confidence, independence, and a deeper connection to the global game.
A Personal, Director-Led Approach
Total Football Experience is based in the North West of England, widely regarded as the heart of English football. The region is home to clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool FC, and Everton FC, and we also regularly use St. George’s Park, the home of the England national teams.
With a clear focus on quality over quantity, we take a genuinely personal approach to every tour. A Director from Total Football Experience works directly with your coaches and organisers to design the itinerary and stays with your group from arrival to departure, ensuring everything runs smoothly and exactly as planned.
A Complete England Soccer Tour Experience
By combining training sessions in England, matches against local teams, stadium tours, live matchday experiences, and cultural learning, our soccer tours to England deliver a complete experience for youth soccer teams from the USA and Canada — on and off the pitch.

Hotels & Food Options
We select comfortable 3 and 4 hotels** that fit your budget and are chosen mainly for their location and convenience. While European rooms may be smaller than in North America, they are perfectly suited for your team’s needs — after all, you’ll spend most of your time enjoying your tour, not in the hotel. Rooms typically include twin, double, triple, or family options, and where possible we arrange interconnecting or adjacent rooms for larger families. Dining options are also carefully selected to ensure players, coaches, and families are well taken care of throughout the tour. You can choose from Bed & breakfast or Bed, breakfast & Evening Meal.
