School football tours, or soccer tours if that is what you call it at home. Football is the sport most of the world plays, which gives a touring team more choice of opposition than any other code.
We will be honest about where we are at. Our touring history is strongest in rugby, hockey and volleyball, and football is a code we are building on the same foundations: the schools, clubs and people we already know.
If you have a football side that wants to tour, tell us the level and the dates and we will show you what we can put together.
New Zealand is where we live and where every relationship we have started. Since 2019 we have hosted school and club groups from Argentina here, often with several sports on the one tour: rugby, hockey, volleyball, basketball and handball.
Most tours run through the North Island. Rotorua for geothermal country and a Māori cultural evening, Hawke's Bay and Wellington for games and the capital's museums, then home to Taranaki, where your team trains and plays under the mountain. Every match day ends the same way, with presentations and time with the host team.
Geoff and Cole plan it and run it in person. Tell us your sports, your level and your dates and we will shape the route around them.
Football Tours in New Zealand
About two weeks
Football tours to New Zealand, built around your team. Football is a newer code for us, so we will be straight about how we plan it: through the same schools and regions that host our rugby, hockey and volleyball teams, on a route we know well.
That means the hosting, the travel and the people looking after you are proven, and the fixtures are arranged fresh for your squad once we know your level. Below is the North Island route most of our groups follow.
