Social Football on the Football Enthusiasts Tour

On the tour, we supply the service of organising social football games against local soccer teams. This is your opportunity to mix it with the locals and experience first hand the way they play the game, as well as keeping active and fit while travelling. Generally the nature of the games we organise is more of a social nature rather than competitive, and mostly on smaller than full sized pitches. However, we can organise more competitive football games on full size grounds when a group requests.

Many tour participants find these games a highlight of their tour as it gave them first hand contact with the locals, and despite language barriers, a platform for authentic interactions with the friendly local lads, who often join us for a drink after the game.

Social football games are a cultural instiution in Argentina and Brazil, and are often played on any space or surface possible. An improvised football game of this type is called a in Argentina and a 'pelada' in Brazil.
