The Algarve is one of the most beautiful regions
in Europe and arguably the world. Located on the
Southern coast of Portugal, fly into Faro as the
gateway for a great all year climate, sun-drenched
beaches and first class golf courses. It comes
as no surprise then that we have chosen this location
to be the host of a number of eurofootballfives.com
competitions.
After the sun has set, the Algarve really comes
alive. Outdoor terraces on busy streets and on
the sea front are perfect places to kick back
and enjoy a few early evening drinks. Then you
can head on to one of the casinos or one of the
many night clubs that the Algarve has to offer.
In the summer, in particular, there are options
galore to choose from such as foam parties and
beach BBQ parties. The Algarve in the evenings
can be as full on or as relaxed as you want it
to be. |

Alicante
– stylish Spanish city with great beaches, great
culture and history and a great nightlife. Some
have even described it as a more “compact” Barcelona.
Alicante
has the city centre and the San Juan beach area
– we feature accommodation in both. The city centre
has everything a city centre can offer plus beaches
and a marina. The San Juan Playa area has a more
resort feel to it and will be the base for our
tournament. Both are close together so if you
choose to stay in the city centre then San Juan
is in easy reach and vice versa.
For
the nightlife, this is concentrated in the El
Barrio Old Town and the marina – bars spilling
out into the streets in a friendly and convivial
atmosphere. The chiringuitos on the Postiguet
and San Juan beaches are said to host some of
the best parties at night during the summer. |

In
Ajax, Amsterdam has one of the most successful
teams in Europe. Ajax has earned the right to
keep the European Cup - winning consecutively
from 1971 through to 1973. In 1972, they completed
the treble by winning the Dutch League, Cup and
European Cup. Add the 1995 Champions League, with
one of the finest young teams to win the tournament,
there are not many cities in the world that can
claim a finer breeding ground.
So
you know the football pedigree of Amsterdam and
Ajax - do you know what the city has to offer
in terms of entertainment? Of course you do! You
do not need us to tell you that Amsterdam is one
of the most liberal cities in the world and with
plenty of drinking establishments to choose from
and a liberal outlook, backed up by liberal sex
and drug laws, comes a great relaxed atmosphere
to enjoy your post-football drinks and the variety
of 'nightlife' on offer. |

Sit
down with a blank piece of paper and think of
all the legends and stars of the world game that
have applied their trade in Barcelona. You can
probably note down a good couple of dozen without
thinking - Messi, Cruyff, Guardiola, Koeman, Laudrup,
Ronaldo, Romario, Stoichkov, Maradona, Ronaldo,
Figo, Luis Enrique, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Deco,
Giuly, Eto'o, Marquez, Lineker, Puyol, Thuram,
Zambrotta, Suarez, Neymar....the list could go
on.
Putting
football to one side, Barcelona itself is a fascinating
city awash with historical and modern art and
culture and not to mention one of the most cosmopolitan
and vibrant cities in Europe. The city has a certain
buzz to it both during the day and the evenings
when the night scene bursts into life. If you
never get the chance to visit Barcelona during
your life you have definitely missed out. |

Berlin
is an amazing city - steeped in history, fascinating
from a cultural perspective and is the party
capital of Germany. It ticks all the boxes for
a football tour and, of course, a eurofootballfives.com
tournament.
Berlin
may not always be the first destination you
think of for a sports tour but should certainly
not be missed. You can visit the remnants of
the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag
and Checkpoint Charlie. In terms of nightlife,
there are some massive clubs to cater for all
tastes and a lively bar scene across this vast
city. We have a free nightlife guide with all
tours to help you make the most of your time
in Berlin.
We
hope you can join us at the Berlin Fives!

Bratislava
is the capital of Slovakia and the new kid on
the block in terms of Central European party venues.
If you've enjoyed the delights of Budapest, Krakow
and Prague then you will have an awesome time
in Bratislava.
You
can't really go wrong in Bratislava with so many
bars, clubs and restaurants to enjoy and all at
a very very reasonable price with a beer costing
around £0.89 on average (www.pintprice.com,
16.11.13) although in the trendier bars, clubs
and central tourist prices you can pay more but
you'll still be quids in compared to home.
Of
course, away from the pubs/bars you've got a first
class football tournament to enjoy and also a
great medieval city to explore. For the culture
vultures you've got the castles, the Danube and
the Apollo bridge as particular sights of special
interest.
Come
and join us in Bratislava - you'll have a great
weekend. |

Budapest
, known as the 'Queen of the Danube ', is a magnificent
city exuding a cultural sophistication that entices
and enchants. Gracing both sides of the legendary
river with grand historic buildings, regal bridges
and graceful tree-lined boulevards, it is the
city's elegant beauty and romantic atmosphere
that has given Budapest Parisian status among
the Eastern European countries.
Budapest represents an ideal destination for a
sporting weekend away – the perfect backdrop for
the tournament itself, a beautiful historical
and cultural city to explore by day and a nightlife
to compete with any other city in Europe. |

Together with
Sopot and Gdynia, Gdansk creates Tri-City (3 towns
for the price of 1). Gdansk is attractive because
of the numerous historical and cultural sites
including a charming medieval Old Town that may
well remind you of Krakow in some respects. If
you have time on your tour it is worth a
visit to the pier & beach in Sopot and
Kosciuszko square in Gdynia. Sopot is
worth a visit for the nightlife if you fancy trying
Gdansk one night and Sopot the next.
Talking
of nightlife…. Gdansk is an excellent place to
go out drinking and/or dancing. There are countless
pubs and bars , many of which are located in the
basements of historic buildings. Many of these
after dark turn into discos to complement the
other clubs on offer. Sopot is the beach resort
with the associated nightlife and is often dubbed
as “party town” of Tri-city. There's plenty on
offer to keep you occupied. |

Located on the River Vistula,
the ancient city of Krakow is considered to be
the 'Jewel of Poland' and is one of the jewels
of Europe. The title of the 'New Prague' does
not do Krakow justice as it is a fantastic city
in its own right. It is one of the best preserved
medieval cities in Europe and is home to the oldest
university in Europe which, with over 100,000
students, creates and fires up a superb nightlife.

If
you are looking for an up and coming destination
for your football tour or stag weekend then look
no further than Lisbon. It may not be as well
trodden as other destinations such as Barcelona,
Berlin etc but then that is part of its charm.
We have yet to meet someone who has been on tour
to Lisbon and not had a great time.
Like
most destinations in Spain and Portugal, Lisbon
boasts a great climate. The city has plenty of
culture and history plus a thriving nightlife
to keep you entertained throughout your tour. |

If
there was an award for ‘the new Prague ' then
the capital of Slovenia , Ljubljana , would certainly
be in the running. It has the perfect combination
of daytime history and culture mixed with a lively
nightlife. With low cost airlines now flying there
it has become a very accessible and affordable
option.
On
the football front, the Slovenes are still in
the infancy of their independence but are already
establishing themselves in the world of football.
The Football in Slovenia and in particular Ljubljana
is developing fast. The clubs are fast improving,
take their football seriously and are competitive
but friendly. The clubs welcome the chance to
test their skills against foreign opposition so
a visit to Ljubljana will provide an excellent
challenge. A great destination for a club tour.

Why
not try Mallorca for your next tour? Our tournament
hotels are based just between Palma Nova and Magaluf
giving you great access to both resorts. The beach
is less than 500m away and the hotel has a great
pool to enjoy all the sunshine that Mallorca has
to offer.
The
nightlife in Magaluf is famous so you can party
the night away to all hours on the strip. Remember
- what goes on tour stays on tour....if you can
remember it anyway.
For
the culture vultures why not head to Palma itself
- Palma offers modern shopping malls, high-street
shops and charming boutiques, perfect for die-hard
shoppers, while Palma's numerous pavement cafes
provide a welcome break in-between the city's
magnificent sights. You can also stroll down the
famous tree-lined Passeig des Born at the heart
of Palma's historical centre, bordered by ancient
narrow lanes and elegant palaces, or visit the
sophisticated shops of the elegant Avenida Jaume
III, one of Palma's best-known avenues.
Mallorca
has plenty to offer for all tastes - contact us
on info@eurofootballfives.com
to get involved.

Porto -
'Portugal's second city', set picturesquely astride
the River Douro in Northern Portugal
– became our 3rd destination in Portugal and our
17th in Europe when it debuted in October 2024.
We absolutely love this fascinating and vibrant
city which is rapidly becoming one of Western
Europe's most sought-after city-break locations.
Porto
is a contradiction in that it is an old historic
city but also a young and lively city (especially
at night). By day you can explore the cobbled
medieval streets and by night enjoy your beers
as people spill out onto the streets from the
bustling pubs and bars. Once you hit midnight,
the club scene comes alive as you party until
breakfast.
In
amongst it all, we have a high-quality football
venue ready for you to display your footballing
skills and take on the international challenge.

Prague
, the capital of the Czech Republic , is known
as "The Pearl of Europe", “The City of a Hundred
Spires”, “The golden heart of Europe ”, “The Amsterdam
of the East” and “The Jewel in the Crown" of Central
Europe . However you get to know Prague , just
remember that Prague is one of the 'must see'
cities in Europe .
Prague
is both rich in culture and easy on the pocket
– an ideal location for a fun packed weekend break
full of nightlife. With direct flights from a
host of UK airports it is also very accessible.

One
of the new ‘old world' destinations that has been
opened up in the last 10-15 years with the break
up of the soviet union, the advancement of the
low cost flight revolution and the search for
new, interesting and cheap places to play football
and drink cheaply. Riga is the largest and most
cosmopolitan of the Baltic states .
Riga
is an increasingly popular short-break destination
and it comes as no surprise as the Latvian capital
has much to offer. Similar to other cities in
Central and Eastern Europe it marries the challenges
of being a modern capital with preserving the
historic charm well. Riga has succeeded in retaining
its old charm and beauty.
The
nightlife of Riga is varied to say the least.
You are as likely to be dining in American burger
bars, Arabic restaurants and trendy Sushi bars
as much as a traditional restaurant. Riga by night
is a bustling metropolis with many bars and clubs
open till the early hours of the morning.
In
sporting terms Latvia has always been a footballing
backwater. However, an appearance at the Euro
2004 championships in Portugal marked Latvia 's
emergence. You will also have seen a Latvian presence
in the UK with Marian Pahars' spell at Southampton
(dubbed the Latvian Michael Owen) and the less
successful spell at Arsenal for Igor Stepanovs.
We have also seen their most famous club side
Skonta Riga play in both the UEFA Cup and Champions
League, including a visit to Stamford Bridge in
1999. |

So,
why go to Valencia? Well, you have the
beaches and a great climate. There is a cracking
nightlife which often dips under the radar as
most people think Barcelona, Prague or Amsterdam
before Valencia comes to mind. This is a shame
as Valencia's nightlife is right up there with
the Calle Juan Llorens, Barrio del Carmen and
Malvarossa Beach areas amongst the best to spend
the night partying. The fact that Valencia slips
under the radar is also an advantage as you do
not see as many stag weekends in town as you may
do in somewhere like Dublin for example.
If
you are looking for a bit of class, civilisation
and culture then there is plenty to see around
the historic centre. So, if you're well travelled
around the party capitals of Europe give Valencia
a try - you will not be disappointed. |

In
what will be our 11th season (2017) of tournament
action, the next exciting destination to hit our
portfolio will be Vilnius - capital of Lithuania.
We
made our debut in the Baltics in Riga in September
2016 and the tournament was a huge success. It
is clear there was a lot of interest in playing
your football in the region so we have added Vilnius
to the calendar.
If
you've enjoyed the delights of Budapest, Prague,
Bratislava, Riga and Krakow (like many of you
have) then heading to Lithuania could well be
the perfect destination for you!
Whether
you are a 5-a-side team playing in a local league,
an 11-a-side amateur team, a work team, looking
for a great stag weekend activity or simply a
group of lads looking for a boys weekend away
on the beers then we think the Vilnius Tournament
would be a great option. |

Warsaw
is one of Europe's hidden gems. For those that
have been there in recent years they will have
witnessed astronomic changes in the city. Warsaw
has enjoyed extensive cosmetic surgery blasting
away the cobwebs of the past with gusto.
In
terms of nightlife, Poland has become one of the
social centres of Europe for nightlife. Krakow
remains the first choice but Warsaw should not
be underestimated as it has a huge amount to offer.
Warsaw meets all the needs for a great night out
- cheap beer, English speaking locals, a whole
host of bars and clubs to suit all tastes plus
many a beautiful woman to cast your roving eye
on! |
